HOW TO FIND YOUR SIZE AND SWING

2nd –Find your Door’s Swing:

·          Swing refers to how the door “swings” open.

·         There are many ways to tell the swing, many of which will confuse you! The easy way to think of it is to go by where the hinges are.

·         Stand outside the room the door is for. Looking at the door from outside the room, what side are the hinges on? That is your door’s swing.

·         Keep in mind that most doors open inwards with hinges only visible once the door is open.

·         With the occasional exception of closets, pantries or some restrooms that open outward. Simply put, these doors are installed backwards. -If you can see the hinge from outside the room with the door closed. That is a sign the door was installed backwards. In conclusion if you’re standing outside the door with the hinges visible while the door is closed and the door swings out to the right or left the door swing is the opposite.

·         If its easier to remember, if a door swings out the swing is based on what side the door knob is on.

Finally, once we know our door’s size and swing you are set to order your new door.
