	The main design for bedroom door inswing: '''It provides just enough privacy to person/people in bed from anyone who may be walking down the hall or entering unexpectedly.'''		The main design for bedroom door inswing: '''It provides just enough privacy to person/people in bed from anyone who may be walking down the hall or entering unexpectedly.''' Privacy is defined by not being able to see inside most of the room when the door is slightly cracked open, as the cracked opening faces towards a wall or corner. You could design for full visibility with a cracked door, or for limited visibility.

	Another example: if a door is identical upside down (such as it it has no locking mechanism but has only a closing mechanism and is not prehung) and has no inside-outside distinction - then it can be used either as a left-hand in/out or left-hand out/in without any modification. You would need to flip it upside down to go from left hand-in to -out, and you would need to flip it and remount hinges to go from left hand in to right hand in - and you would need to reverse the hinges to go from left hand in to right hand out. See the diagram above.

			So for example, left hand in or right hand out are 2 different doors - but if one can remount the hinge from inside to outside (not a prehung door) - then one of these doors can serve both functions.

			Another example: if a door is identical upside down (such as it it has no locking mechanism but has only a closing mechanism and is not prehung) and has no inside-outside distinction - then it can be used either as a left-hand in/out or left-hand out/in without any modification. You would need to flip it upside down to go from left hand-in to -out, and you would need to flip it and remount hinges to go from left hand in to right hand in - and you would need to reverse the hinges to go from left hand in to right hand out. See the diagram above.
