Figure Out the Handing and Swing of your Door in Four Easy Steps

Figure out the handing and swing of your door in four easy steps

There’s no aspect of buying a new door that’s quite as daunting as figuring out the handing and swing of your door. In our Raleigh area door supply store (LINK), we see even the pro’s get tripped up over figuring out whether a door is left or right-handed, and whether it is inswing or outswing.

It’s important to get this right though. If you don’t, your new door will have the hinges and handles in the wrong places. It won’t be usable in the space it was ordered for.

That’s why we prepared this quick tutorial video, plus a step-by-step guide to figuring out the handing and swing of your door.

A Quick Summary of the Easy Steps to Figuring Out the Handing and Swing of your Door

inswing or outswing only applies to exterior doors.

INterior doors left or right handing matters, but the frame can be built to make the door swing either direction during installation.
