Left and right hand identify the direction you want your replacement or new door to swing. Let's only deal with doors that swing into the room for now. To identify whether you have a left or right, place your butt against the hinges of the door. Now use one arm or the other to reach for the handle of the door. Which ever arm you used , let's say your left... you have a left hand 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.

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.
