How to Determine Hand of Hinge
• The hand of a hinge is determined from the outside of the door to which it is applied
• The outside of a cupboard, bookcase or closet door is the room side. For other doors, the outside is usually
the side from which security is necessary

• It will be observed that this method of determining the hand of loose joint cabinet hinges is exactly the
opposite from the furniture manufacturers’ standard rule
• To determine the hand of a loose joint hinge: open the hinge with its face toward you. If the knuckle of the
right leaf is at the bottom, it is a right hand hinge. If the knuckle of the left leaf is at the bottom, it is a left
hand hinge
