I know I am going to regret this, but.
I've decided to rip out the last sliding patio door in our house
and
replace it with inward opening double French doors and double
screen
doors. The part I think I will regret is that I'm convincing
myself
that
I ought be the one who removes the old door and installs the new
doors.
I
think it is just a hair beyond my carpentry capabilities, so it
would
be
a
good learning experience for me. If I do that right, why, maybe
I'll
start building rowboats in my spare time!
Anyway, I ordered the doors and trimmings and I'll have about four
weeks
to make up my mind before they arrive. Choice was between wood
doors,
clad
wood doors, or fiberglass doors. I ordered the latter.
If you're a believer, pray for me. :)
Check your building codes re inward opening doors.
Are you alluding to some...secret? Most of the front doors I've seen
around here open inward. In fact, most hinged doors, except for
screen
doors, open inward.
Codes may have changed. They did in Florida. Ask Eisboch what failed
and
cost him over 100k in damages.
In all the houses I've lived in, I've never had an exterior door that
opened outward, except for screen doors or storm doors. I think "crank"
windows, though, have to open outward.
WHATEVER
Harry has never seen an outward (such as left hand reverse) swinging
door?????
Harry probably swings both ways.
