To understand the concept of the hinge and stop side, a video showcasing this concept was created.

The door in this scenario is a right-hand door swinging into Room 1.
The hinges would be on seen in Room 1, while the stop would be seen in Room 2.
If we wanted to read the text from Room 1, we would want the door readable from the hinge side. If it was readable from the stop side, the text would be backwards in Room 1.
Text Readable
Text Backwards
Here we have a right-hand door swinging into Room 4.
The hinges would be in Room 4 and the stop in Room 3.
If we wanted to read the text from the Room 3, the door should be readable from the stop side.
Doors with readable glass are not the only door type where the stop or hinge side must be specified.
