Know Your Rights (and Lefts) of Doors

The Miranda Decision was created in 1966 wherein police were obligated to read those under arrest their rights. Similarly, we feel obligated to read you your rights and lefts -- as they pertain to doors. You have the right to know if a door is right or left-handed. When remodeling or adding a room, you have the right to specify doors correctly and anything you say can and will be held against you when it's done and the bill arrives. It's really simple. Right- or left-handed means which way a door swings based on the location of the hinges. When viewed from the side, where you can see the hinges, doors with hinges on the left are left-handed and doors with hinges on the right are right-handed. Doors normally swing inward. Those that swing out are called reverse-swing doors. Knowing whether a door is right- or left-handed and whether it swings in or out is important when remodeling. And that's the On The House tip for today.
