Hi, 

For quite some time, I was confused and kept asking myself, “Do I need a right or left handed door handle?” But the answer was quite simple. The carpenter I called to put up the lock explained how I could distinguish between them. 

He asked me to stand in front of the door and see which the hinges go to when I open the door. He said, if the hinges go to the right side, you need a right-handed handle; if it goes to the left, you need a left-handed door handle. This is how you learn whether the door handles right or left handed. 

Are Door Handles Left Or Right For Bathroom?

He said that the same rule can be applied to the bathroom doors as well, but only when they open towards the inside of the bathroom. For example, the rule mentioned above applies if you are standing outside the bathroom and the door opens towards the inside.

He also said that the rule would be a bit different if the door opened towards the outside. For example, if you are standing outside the bathroom and the door opens towards you with hinges on the right side, then you would need a left-handed handle. 

Now, you could ask, do door handles come in left and right? Yes, they do. Hopefully, this answers your question, “Do I need a right or left handed door.”
