Some locks require a hand to be stated when ordering (Left Hand or Right Hand). Please be aware that different countries call left hand locks right hand and vice versa. Throughout our website we call a left hand lock one that fits to the left hand edge of the door ( not the left hand door). All images on this site are of left hand locks where applicable.

In old mystic belief, the left hand was said to be the receiving hand, receiving energy from whatever force to transform within the mage, and be let out the right hand as form.

Used to describe which way the door is hung on the jamb. Left Hand describes the side of a door the handle is on as it is pulled towards you. As a door is pushed away, this would describe a handle on the opposite side of the door. (left hand diagram)

Left Hand is the fictional character of a symbiote lodged in the hand of the character D, first introduced in the series of eighteen novels of Hideyuki Kikuchi called Vampire Hunter D. There currently are, in English, six novels out with one more scheduled for translation. The first and third novels have been made into movies, and Left Hand has appeared in both, albeit quite different.

Left Hand (Diego Casseas), is a member of the Marvel Comics supervillain group, the Folding Circle.
