Imagine standing with the door open and leaning with your back against the hinge-side jamb facing the latch strike plate. If the door knob of the open door is towards your LEFT hand, it's a left-handed door. If the door knob of the open door is towards your RIGHT hand, it's a right-handed door.

The easiest way to think about it is this:
Imagine standing with the door open and leaning with your back against the hinge-side jamb facing the latch strike plate. If the door knob of the open door is towards your LEFT hand, it's a left-handed door. If the door knob of the open door is towards your RIGHT hand, it's a right-handed door.
