How To Determine The handing Of Your Door/Lock
One Method:
To determine the handing of a door, face the outside of the door.
If the hinge is on the left side of the door, the door is left-handed.
If the hinge is on the right side of the door, the door is right-handed.
Another Method:
It gets a little weird if you think about kitchen cabinet doors that are mounted with concealed hinges, but it works the same. Standing in your kitchen, a door that has a pull on the left side would be a Right-hand door.
Now, let's add a lock to that same cabinet door.
Even though the lock would be installed on the left edge of the door, the lock you would need to order would be a "right" lock, because the door is Right-handed.
I know it's a bit confusing, but this is the common language used by cabinetmakers.
