Thank you for this 🙏🏼 I hadn’t even thought about the access to the light switch! Going to get a LH now instead of RH. Thanks!

I don't comment much, but I had to say a big Thank You.
Your explanation is so easy to understand.
I hope that you are a teacher in our school system. You would create some very strong students.

Yep. That’s how I see it too. Open door, put hand in, turn on lights. Simples. 👍

Ive been ask, is the door knob on left or right .& Where does it swing., ? In or out.

You should do a video at some point on motion sensor lights. Get into that nerdy stuff. I hate lights because it’s like we’re constantly in an out of rooms and by time you know it every friggin light is on.

When you’re done shut off the light but you gotta be done first.

I do not know where are you from, but in Europe we describe doors the opposite way. You stay in front of the doors to see hinges. To open the doors you must pull them. The location of hinges describe the door type. If hinges are on the left, the doors are Left Hand, if hinges are on the right, then you have RH doors. So at 0:53 doors in Europe would be left hand (LH).

3280 is not 80" high a 3280 is a 3'2" wide by 8'0" tall The door your refering to is a 2868. The numbers don't mean inches. If the door is 2'8"Wide x6'8"Height it's a 2868 door. Which is 80" overall height. Common mistake because most doors are either 6'8" (80") or 8'0" (96") People confuse 8' with 80" all the time

are you right handed? Your method seems backwards to me

Okay you do not put your back to the door you face the door if door knob is on right and hinges are on left it will swing to the left you walk into the room and face the door and by the way that's 31 years of Union certified Carpenter here
