Which side of the door does the handle go on?

We're in the process of installing this door and it doesn't have a sticker to say which side the handle goes on.  Does anyone know, please?

Which way is the door going to open? I would recommend left.

Re: Which side of the door does the handle go on?

Hello @webberjus 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about your door.

 

It's great that you've received excellent advice from @Bomber25. I totally agree with the recommendation, it all depends on which way the door will be swinging in. This would be a good time to reflect on which way the door should open. It's always best to swing away from another door opening and away from the staircase.

 

Once you've decided where the door will be hinged, the position of the door handle will be resolved as well.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
