- Dylan16807 13y agoI don't understand, I'm used to doors with handles on random sides, how are they biased?
- arjie 13y agoMy door handle is a knob that turns both ways to open, but turning my right hand (I'm right handed) clockwise is far more comfortable than doing so counterclockwise.
- Dylan16807 13y agoI don't understand how the door is biased here. Turn it one way with your right hand, and the other way with your left, if that is your preference.
- arjie 13y agoHa ha ha! Thanks for your advice. I shall now be able to enter my bedroom again. Seriously, though, I felt it obvious but I'll spell it out. Some doors open only one way. That way is likely more comfortable for right-handers. Having a doorknob which moves both ways, I have been able to observe that there is a difference in the 'feel' of the way it opens depending on the direction. I offered this as information so you could answer your question yourself. Good luck! And have a nice day.
