If the door swings into the room (away from your approach), a door
with the hinges on the right is a right hand door.

If the door swings out of the room (toward your approach), a door
with the hinges on the right is a right hand reverse.

Here is an illustration:

In reality, most things about hanging doors can be worked out by
putting your butt to the butt hinges and determining which one of
your arms would be the door. This eliminates needing to know or
understand the reverses. The reverses are only important in full
mortise locks, panic bars, closers and some other commercial
hardware. There is no difference in typical residential use
between a RHR (right hand reverse) and a LH (left hand).
