Determining the DIN Direction of Windows and Doors

Often, when purchasing replacement parts for a defective window or door, we need to specify a DIN direction. This indicates the direction in which the window sash or door opens. We differentiate between DIN-Left and DIN-Right, determined by looking from the inside at our window/door:

DIN-Left: The window handle is on the right side, and the corner hinges or hinges are on the left side.
DIN-Right: The window handle is on the left side, and the corner hinges or hinges are on the right side.

The following phrase has become an industry mnemonic:

“DIN is where the hinges are visible”
