A) Right Hand Door. Door opens inward
(push). Hinged on the right side.
B) Left Hand Door. Door opens inward
(push). Hinged on the left side.
C) Right Hand Reverse Door. Door opens
outward (pull). Hinged on the right side.
D) Left Hand Reverse Door. Door opens out-
ward (pull). Hinged on the left side.
