I received this Wordless Wednesday photo from both Estefano Pilonieta and Rossen Marinov, so I’m sharing it with the rest of the iDigHardware world (originally posted on Reddit).

The plans were upside down, when they went to install the plates
Perhaps a pre-install gone wrong?
Exactly!
Take those doors off, flip them 180 degrees, reverse the latches, and swap them into each other’s openings. Fixed!
Great joke! — it’s gotta be deliberate, the doors are pre-machined to be non-handed…easily swapped.
The women’s and men’s restroom door got switched since they both swing different direction. The installer must not have a lot of experience.
The installer installed them on the wrong end/side of the door and never corrected the problem.
the plates are in the correct location, it is the lockset and hing prep that is incorrect
Door slabs installed in the wrong frames.
I agree that it is probably a pre-install but I think the problem is that the doors have been installed upside down!?! It is hard to tell for sure but it looks like they may be 6’8″ doors that have the same hinge location at the top and the bottom with the lock in the center. If you flip them, the kickplate is on the bottom of the door on the push side.
The doors are reversed. The mens was to go on the womens and vis-a-vi.
I see what might be evidence of a standard closer arm in the face of that near frame…this might just be a clever way to hide the corresponding marks on the door. 😀
That wouldn’t look that bad if there were a couple more on there. Ha ha
Not having an opening or door number is a really common mistake made on smaller TI jobs on commercial office buildings. One door # off and you get this.
This don’t happen to have PA closers do they?
This door is a reversible swing door, 6-8 height, that has been hung upside down. Some day installers will be accountable for their workmanship or lack of workmanship.
Exactly right Charles….
Gravity is just a theory.
I machined a loose door for a mortise lock once, not realizing it was upside down. Once! 🙂
