If you open a door towards you and the hinges are visible and on the left side, the door is called left-hung. If the hinges are on the right side, it is right-hinged. Locks are distinguished in the same way. A chamber lock is normally fitted so that you open the door towards you with the key and the lock case is then on the inside of the door.

If the door is installed in this way, the left hinge and left lock belong together and the right hinge belongs with the right lock

Tips!

Do you have old iron or brass fittings for locks, windows and doors that you want to remove paint residues from? Put them in linseed oil soap overnight. Fish them out of the jar the next morning and the paint is gone! It’s simple! Environmentally friendly! Linseed oil soap is also effective for other paint removal. Therefore, do not forget a scrubbing brush with soap on a painted surface for a long time. Then the paint will disappear!
