Today’s nearly useless except when it’s absolutely necessary bit of knowledge:
Doors are normally described as they look and function from outside the room the door protects.
Visible hinges on the left = left handed (LH) door, as you open it with your left hand, handle points to the left, door swings to the left.
Visible hinges on the right = right handed (RH) door, as you open it with your right hand, handle points to the right, door swings to the right.
Door opens towards you = standard (no modifier). Hinges are on your side.
Door opens away from you = reverse(R). Hinges are on the other side of the door.
A door with the hinges facing you on the left side of the door, handle on the right, door swinging open towards you and to the left, is a left-handed (LH) door. The same door as viewed from the opposite side would be right-handed reverse (RHR).
