Is the Door Right or Left Handed?

To determine whether a door is right or left handed, face the cabinet and if the hinges are mounted on the right side, the door is right handed. Likewise, if the hinges are mounted on the left side, the door is left handed.

Measuring Offsets on Refrigerator
Latches and Hinges

Surface Mount Latches and Hinges:

A door’s offset is the distance from the face of the frame to the face of the door. The offset on a surface mount latch or hinge is the same as the door offset. For measuring the offset on this type of hardware, see the illustrations below.

Edge Mount Hinges:

Most edge mount hinge offsets are measured from the base of the hinge (where it attaches to the cabinet) to the center of the screw holes where the hinge attaches to the door. Since some hardware manufacturers measure their offsets differently, the offset stamped on the hinge may differ from the offset shown in our catalog.
