A door that swings out can be blocked by obstructions on the otherside that can't be cleared, as they're behind the now-blocked door. Our doors swing in so in an emergency we can clear any obstructions inside and open the door, so even if there IS an obstruction outside we can then clear that when the door is open.

Fire Doors in public spaces open outward because in a Mass-Panic event, a crowd could push someone against a door that swings inward, too stupid to give them room to pull it open, and everyone then dies in the fire. If anything, the orientation of home doors and public fire doors puts faith in the individual, but puts scorn on the reactionary mob.

And of COURSE 70% of Burglars enter through doors, doors are made to open somehow. What's he going to do, tunnel through a wall??? WALLS WORK, remember???

Well if you got 5000 cops kicking in doors a year, save a lot of on the job injury making it easier to kick the door in

Is that what they told you? Why would there be obstructions outside your door?

Pretty easy to think of reasons to kick in someones door too. Had a partner at work for years, he worked for me for a long time too. He was a thief 100%. I had to let him steal something every once in a while because he wanted to steal everything he saw. Hed tell you the same thing. And hes one of the reasons the door facing the other way is better

Your friend kicks in my door, and then unintentionally steals eight rounds, smuggling them out in his chest. Eventually, the coroner steals them from him.

You replied to me with three different replies, I think you may have too much free time on your hands.

But there are obstructions outside my door because my house is on fire. There are also obstructions inside the door, but I can remove them after throwing a pot of water from the sink on them.

If theyre obstructing exit you got a lot bigger of a problem than getting out since obviously those trying to keep you in are trying to kill you

To be fair though recently a ups driver put a package under a guys doorknob and locked him in 😂😂😂 I still dont buy it though. It should be standard out and if it were standard we would as a society just keep that clear. Its not that hard to do for the increase in protection it provides

snow dirt sand bunched up rug wind blown debrie tornado hurricane storm surge flooding earthquake. I can think of dozens of reasons that would block an out swinging door and a door knocker will take the hinges off regardless unless you have a beefed up door. If you are going with a security door anyway might as well keep it swinging in

Thats not how a doors made. The middle parts the threshold. The door would have to go through the threshold. The actual door is bigger than a part of the frame.

You can think of a bunch of trivial reasons the door wont open in too. Rug, shoe, kid toy, dog there. Those are somewhat legit but by just taking the same measures you do one way you can the other

and with you on the inside you can move those out of the way and open the door
