    Stupid question about door swing

    Can a right-handed outswing door be seamlessly interchanged into a right-handed inswing frame?

    I need to order a door for a bathroom I'm building at camp, last piece of the puzzle. It needs to be right-handed outswing. I found a nice door with a glass window for a good price that'd be perfect for the front door of the cabin, but the cabin is right-handed inswing. Can I simply remove them at the hinge and swap seamlessly or is there other things I'm not thinking of? Doors are the same 32x80 size.

    Recut and move the hinges. Probably look like crap but it'll work

      Ah I don't wanna have to recut the hinges, will just go with the cheaper door for the bathroom then. Thanks for the info.

        What kind of material is the door? If metal, take the window out, turn it around and flip the hinges. Works in my mind but is has to be metal or fiberglass.

          The door with the window would be steel. I didn't even think about the window, guess one side would be weatherproof. Sounds like a pain.

            You don't really need to turn the glass around. Just flip the frame so the screws are inside. Security. If you flip the hinges, which should work, reinstall with the next larger size screws so you get a secure fit.

              A right hand door will swing right hand either inside or out.
