STORM DOOR HANDING

January 20th, 2010 by admin

One of the most important questions down the road becomes, “Which way will the door open?” If you are dealing ordering from a retailer like Lowe’s or Home Depot, it is imperative that the sales rep be crystal clear on this. In the world of door installations, handing is everything. Now we get to some industry jargon.First, ALL security storm doors measurements are assuming that you are standing OUTSIDE of your house looking at the door. Now, handing is stated as either “left-handed” or “right-handed.” This means that if you but your back against the jamb where you want the door do be hinged, whichever hand of yours is on the outside is the “handing” of your door.
