The right hand generally refers to the right side of
something in the construction industry. A right-hand bathtub has a drain
on the right-hand side and a right-hand door usually opens to the right.
When you're building a stairway hand rail system, most of the parts you
order will curving to the right or left direction and will be called out
accordingly.

Before you order anything right handed, make sure that
your positive that you're getting the right product. I can't tell you
how many times I've received a bathtub, door, window or even a sliding
glass door that was right, but it was wrong. Sorry, I couldn't help
myself with that one.
Most lumber yards, construction material warehouses and home improvement
centers have pictures or drawings of the parts you're going to receive.
It's not a bad idea to take a second look at the drawings or review them
later at your home, just to make sure that you're on the same page as
the person who's ordering them for you.
Most windows suppliers won't even order your windows until you have
signed a confirmation letter, stating that you understand everything
about the product you're ordering. Believe it or not, this piece of
paper protects you and them, just in case there is a problem.
Whenever you're ordering right or left handed products, just remember
that your interpretation could be different than someone else's and
that's where the problems usually start.
