How do I determine the handing of a lock?

A: Handing for doors and lock sets is determined by standing on the outside facing the door. If the hinges are on the left hand side, you need a left handed lever set. If the hinges are on the right hand side, you need a right handed lever set. For a diagram and a more detailed explanation see below.
