How to Determine Left or Right Hand

Stand on the side of the door where the hinges will be installed (the rebated side of the door frame), facing the door.

• Left hand: The hinges are on the left side of the door and the door swings towards you when opened.
• Right hand: The hinges are on the right side of the door and the door swings towards you when opened.

In short — stand on the hinge side, face the door, and note which side the hinges fall on. That is your hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a rising hinge? A rising hinge is a type of door hinge with a helical knuckle that causes the door to rise as it opens. This allows the door to clear floor coverings such as carpet or tiles without the need to trim the door bottom.

How many rising hinges do I need per door? Most standard interior doors require two rising hinges. Heavier or taller exterior doors may require three. Check the door manufacturer’s recommendation for your specific door weight and height.

Are rising hinges suitable for exterior doors? Yes, rising hinges can be used on exterior timber doors. Ensure the hinge finish is appropriate for your exposure level — contact us if you need guidance.

Do rising hinges self-close the door? Rising hinges do not provide a self-closing action on their own. The rising action may cause the door to drift closed on sloped floors, but a dedicated door closer is required for reliable self-closing.

Can I use a rising hinge on a heavy door? Rising hinges are load-rated — ensure the QS4440 is rated for your door’s weight. Contact Doors Direct if you need advice on the correct hinge specification for a heavy door.
