Can the door be made to open the other way?

I don't believe it can be switched. Perhaps the customer could specify the swing - left or right handed. Hope this helps.

Yes it can, you'll just need to drill corresponding holes on the opposite side. These are very nice cabinets and miles ahead of the fiberboard garbage typically sold in stores.

Yes you can flip it so that the door opens as you wish both top and bottom are finished and identical.

Yes. You can flip the hinges to either side. Love this door. I install it in a lot of customers homes

Emily: My husband says the pantry came with pre-drilled holes for the hinges and knob plate. So, that would lead you to believe it can be opened only one way. HOWEVER, he says if someone is really handy with tools, they could drill the same holes on the opposite side, and install the door on the preferred side. Careful measuring is the key.

You can adjust the closing (and thus opening) force. It should be no problem to adjust it such that a dog can push open the door.

Yes, there are holes on both sides inside of the cabinet,so the door can be opened from the left or the right which makes it easy and convenient!

If I understand correctly you are wanting the door to be on the left or right instead of the center as shown in the picture. If that's the case, then no is the answer. The way the unit is constructed the opening/door has to be in the middle. The "windows" on either side of the door are fixed in position. By the way, I've had mine now for several months and we have 2 Boston Terriers that go in and out MANY times a day and it's holding up great. And, the younger one is almost 20 pounds and hits that door and a full run each time. Very pleased with the door.

If you ask me, this lock isn't the greatest in quality. I had to take it off after one day. But to answer your question, no. You can get in from the other side. You just have to push the handle down harder than normal and with that pressure, the lock will disable and the the door will open.

It is doable without a lot of work. You have to have a drill, and measure carefully to re-drill the hinge screw holes on the other side of the carcass. The doors themselves are symmetrical top to bottom, so with the hinges on the other side, they would be mounted 'upside down' and open the other way. Anyone with high school wood-shop skills can do it.

It can but that inhibits the door opening if you recess it to far. I have two and they are both partially recessed to allow the door to open.

The holes for the hinges are pre-drilled. I would not have the ability to change the way the door opens but someone that is handier with tools would probably be able to.

I don't see how it can because the door opens both ways, unless you can secure that the door would only open toward the side with the lock.

Definitely not as the frame of the construction has to be resting on the outside of the door frame. So it would not be possible to open the door if it was mounted this way.

Yes, you will only be able to open the door partway. I have it on a closet door that I don't use often and opening the door only about 1/3 of the way is not a problem for me.

Yes the direction the door opens can be changed. Door is designed to move the hinges and handle to the opposite side.

I believe that you can. The latch is designed to go on both left and right opening doors. However, in your case the latch and hasp will need to be reversed from the usual install. This might work it might not. I can't tell without seeing your setup. My advice is you get it and try and see if it can be installed. If not then return it.
