DETERMINING THE HAND OF THE DOOR
G.A.L. door operators are available for right hand doors and for left hand doors. (Center parting doors
use a variation of the left hand operator). to determine the hand of the door, stand in the lobby facing the
elevator doors. If the doors close to the left, it is a left hand door. If the door closes to the right it is a right
hand door. The left hand, center parting and right hand operators are not interchangeable. The figures
below illustrate the door hand.
