Door DIN left or right – are both possible?

Hello friends!

Take a look at the installation of the kitchen door.


Our landlord completely renovated our new apartment from scratch. Now the carpenter (subcontractor) is supposed to install the door as a DIN left door, as per the order.
Technically it can be done, but then the door opens into the middle of the room and has no stop. I’m supposed to accept it that way (planning error??), since the rental agreement doesn’t specify which way the doors should be installed.
Let's leave the legal aspect aside, but how should something like this be evaluated from a construction point of view? Does any building regulation or DIN standard say anything about this?

I look forward to your independent opinions.

Best regards, Michael

No idea which legal or DIN-related specification. Only reason and logic say right edge alignment.

Maybe there are other reasons? How deep is the stub to which the frame is attached? If you also include the handle, 90 degrees will be tight. But talk to the landlord, maybe he is not aware of it.

The door swing in living spaces is not regulated anywhere, but usually it is planned so that the door opens into the room and not towards the wall. In your case, it is indeed inconvenient, but there is no entitlement to redesign.

Who says you have to accept it like that? The landlord or the carpenter / sub? If sub, then kindly talk to the landlord to see if he could still change it, that would really be problematic for you, etc. As a landlord (I am also a landlord) I would have an interest in satisfying the tenant within the possibilities and while keeping within the cost framework.

Just a really stupid question. Where are the light switches located?
