What "swing direction" means

Swing direction (also called the door's handing) tells us two things: which side the hinges go on, and which way the door opens. Everything we machine for you (the hinge slots, and the latch slot: the small pocket the door's latch clicks into) goes on the correct side to match your swing. It is worth a minute to check.

The easy way to check

Go to the doorway and stand with your back against the side the hinges are on (or the side you want them on). Now look where the handle ends up:

• Handle on your LEFT? It's a Left-Hand (LH) door.
• Handle on your RIGHT? It's a Right-Hand (RH) door.

Here is the same thing seen from above, looking down at the doorway:

Double Door

Choose Double Door for a wide opening with a pair of doors that meet in the middle, like the picture above. We machine both doors as a matched pair, one hinged on each side.

Please double-check your swing before adding to cart. The machining depends on it, and it is the number one thing customers get backwards.
