A community about dogs.

Breeds, tips and tricks about training and behaviour, news affecting dog owners, canine photography, dog-related art and any questions related to dog ownership.

Rules

  1. Posts must be related to dogs or dog ownership and must not be void of content.

  3. No automated content. This includes AI generated imagery, post body, articles, comments or automated accounts.
  4. No advertising or self-promotion.
  5. Illegal or unethical practices are frowned upon, and any comments or posts suggesting them will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to, backyard breeding, ear and tail cropping, fake service animals, negative reinforcement, alpha/pack/dominance theory, and eugenics.
  6. No judging or attacking community members who care for dogs with cropped ears, docked tails, or those from puppy mills or questionable sources. While we discourage these practices (per Rule 5), all dogs deserve loving homes and compassionate care regardless of their background or physical alterations.

Door frames don’t have “a bottom”, and the handle not being nearer to the top than the bottom. If they flipped the door and frame, the handle/lockset would be about 20” higher up the door. And as also stated, the hinges don’t work that way either.

You put way too much effort into explaining why my joke won't work. But you could disassemble the jams and flip them around.

No… you cannot… the hinges don’t work that way, you would have to re router them.

And at that point, you would just buy a regular old door kit and do it yourself….

Guys I found the idiot.
