This is simple to figure your way through.... When you have inswing doors, if the hinges are on the left-hand side, you have a left-handed door. If they are on the right-hand side, you have a right-handed door. When looking at outswing doors, if the hinges are on the left-hand side, you have a Right-Hand Outswing door. I hope this helps!!!
Thanks. I think I know how to determine if my replacement door is right or left handed. Conversely the part about looking at drafted plans is not so clear to me. Is the view looking at the door opening away from you or is the view looking at the door opening towards you. Simply put is the view one where the door is pushed open or pulled open?
We construction guys learn handing like this Butt to Butt Hinges & cock to lock. Not sure if you can talk to your clients like that but on the jobsite it's OK. on the Phone it is hard to have a non door guy tell you the handing. Picture are best. on the phone say get on the push side and push the door open, did it go to your Left side or Right side.

They make something so simple so darn complicated. Thank you for clarifying...
Happy to help!
Is a right hand inswing the same as a right hand outswing?

You will always be looking from the side the door will open into.
Thanks a lot!! I'm getting doors replaced in my home.
Glad I could help!
Your illustration for outswing doors seems to be incorrect if you use your back to the hinge method.
Thanks dear. So foundational
My pleasure 😊
Thanks!
You bet!
Thanks so much
