Question: 1 / 435

How is a left-handed door that swings outward described?

Left Hand (Man Door)

Left Hand Reverse Bevel (Door)

A left-handed door that swings outward is categorized as a Left Hand Reverse Bevel door. The designation reflects the mechanics of how the door opens. In this context, the term "left-handed" indicates that the hinges of the door are on the left side when facing the door from outside, allowing it to swing away from the building.

The concept of reverse bevel comes into play as it describes the beveled edge of the door. For a door that swings outward, the beveled edge is on the outside; if one were to look at it from the outside (the side opposite the hinges), one would see the bevel cutting towards the doorframe, rather than away from it as would be the case for reverse bevel doors that swing inward.

Understanding these classifications is critical in locksmithing as it directly affects installation, security measures, and overall functionality of door locks and hardware.
