SINGLE DOOR HANDLING
First, start by determining if the door is to be opened by pushing away from you or pulling towards you? Which side are the hinges on as you are viewing the door?
-
Left Hand (LH) – Hinges on the left, door pushes away from you.
-
Right Hand (RH) – Hinges on the right, door pushes away from you.
-
Left Hand Reverse (LHR) – Hinges on the left, door pulls toward you.
-
Right Hand Reverse (RHR) – Hinges on the right, door pulls toward you.
DOUBLE DOOR HANDLING
Double doors include an Active Leaf (the door that operates) and an Inactive Leaf (the door that stays fixed or latches). From the secure side:
-
Left Hand Active (LH Active) – Left door is active, doors push away.
-
Right Hand Active (RH Active) – Right door is active, doors push away.
-
Left Hand Reverse Active (LHR Active) – Left door is active, doors pull toward you.
-
Right Hand Reverse Active (RHR Active) – Right door is active, doors pull toward you.
Double doors will sometimes have both door leaves active. This means either door will work independently of the other. An example of this is doors with push and pulls, where neither door is locked. You would hand them as RH/LH or RHR/LHR
Some double doors (usually across corridors) seem to be going in opposite directions. These doors are called Double Egress. If you look closely, their handing will be LHR/LHR or RHR/RHR. Usually both door leaves are active.
Whenever there is an exit device on your opening, it is a reverse bevel door (RHR, LHR).
Understanding Door Handling
How to Determine Door Handing
The “handing” of a door refers to the direction that the door swings. It is important to know the correct handing of your opening when ordering Doors, Frames, Exit devices, Locksets, or other hardware. The hand of a door is determined from the secure side of the door. The term “secure” means the side from which you initially unlock and enter.
