You can change the way a dryer door swings open. Most dryers come pre-assembled so the door may either open and close on either the right or left side. Changing the direction in which it opens and closes is an easy process to complete. You may need to adjust the direction of the door due to the layout of your laundry room. The manual that came with your dryer should outline how to change the door opening. If you don't have the manual, the process is basically the same for every dryer.
