Skip to content When ordering or installing a door, you might come across the terms “left-hung” or “right-hung.” Understanding the difference between these two is important for both functionality and ensuring you order the right door for your space. Here’s a simple guide to help you figure it out.
The easiest way to tell if a door is left or right-hung is to stand directly in front of the door on the side that opens towards you. Now, follow these steps:
Choosing the correct door swing direction can impact how the door opens in relation to walls, furniture, or other doors nearby. This small detail can improve the flow of a room and prevent doors from getting in the way.
The difference between a left and right-hung door depends on the placement of the hinges when you stand on the side where the door swings towards you. Hinge on the left? It’s left-hung. Hinge on the right? It’s right-hung. Keep this in mind when ordering and installing doors for smoother function and better room layouts
