How do you determine if you need a right or left hand door handle?

Almost all modern commercially produced door handles can be installed on either hand. The internal mechanism, known as the striker, flips over and is identical top and bottom. Door handles have spindles that slip through a square slot in the striker mechanism so that when the knob is turned, or button pushed, the striker is withdrawn, allowing the door to open. Deadbolts are similarly constructed.

If you pull the handle toward you , it should release and pop open. Pukenstein@aol.com My van door is diabolical. Sometimes it opens just by pulling the handle but not always. You may have to use your right hand to open the handle and your left hand to pry the door away from the body a bit. On some models there is a child proof lock so it can't be opened from the inside. Make sure that isn't on if you're trying from the inside. desertsteppe@gmail.com

How do you tell a right or left hand sliding patio door?
There's a "butt to butt" method that I SHOULD remember, considering I sold doors for six years... But there's an even easier method: Go to whichever side of the door you can see the hinges on--if the door's inswing like most of them are, that's inside of your house. If the hinges are on the left side it's a left-hand door; if they're on the right side it's a right-hand door. From the other side of the door, go by where the knob is. The easiest method to identify door swing is to simply pretend you are the hinge. It doesn't matter if the door opens in or out, or if the hinges are on the right or left. One side of the hinge is attached to the door (and swings with the door). The other side of the hinge is attached to the door jamb and does not swing. Simply put your hands together in front of you and swing the hand that would be attached to the door. If you swing your right, it's an RH door - if you swing your left, it's a LH door.

When did determining a right hand or left hand doors swing change or reverse?
For residential the rule of thumb is, with your butt at the door hinge, which hand touches the door? Left hand, its a left hand door. For exterior doors, you have to tell the door supplier if it is an open out door so they can get the threshold right and add hinges with non-removable pins. It gets a little tricky on commercial applications where you have to factor in whether the door opens into the room or out of it. "Left hand reverse" ect.
