Question: what is the difference in a right hand and left hand door?
Answer: If the hinges are on the right hand side, you need a right-handed door set. Method 2: With the door open, stand with your back against the hinge jamb. If your left hand is nearer the doorknob, then the door is LEFT-HANDED. If your right hand is nearer the doorknob, then the door is RIGHT-HANDED.
