When ordering lever handles or handlesets, you will need to know the handing of your door. Door handing is the direction in which your door swings. If you order the incorrect door handing you will either have locks on the wrong side of the door, levers that are upside down, or levers that point in the wrong direction and keep the door from closing properly.

Please refer to the illustration (left) to determine which handing your will need before ordering your door hardware.

Exception to the Rule: If you have a locking door that swings outward, you’ll need to order your lever handle in the opposite handing so that the lock is on the correct side of the door
