Many people find door handing to be confusing. The key is to forget about which hand you use to open the door. Handing is determined by the Hinges. Follow these simple handing instructions and you won’t go wrong.
Many door lever sets require you to determine whether the door is a Right-Hand or Left-Hand door (most knobs do not require handing).

- Simply stand Outside the Room or House facing the door. (it does not matter if the door swings in or out)
- If the Hinges are on the Right, it is a Right-Hand Door and you would choose the Right Hand option when ordering door levers.
- If the Hinges are on the Left, it is a Left-Hand Door and you would choose the Left Hand option when ordering door levers.
- Handlesets Note - Even though the lever is on the inside of the house, you still stand Outside the house to determine proper handing.
- Inside Garage Door Note - For the door that connects from your garage to your living space, you would stand in the Garage facing the house to determine proper handing.
