Yet another question.

[supernova]

I'm thinking about putting the man door in my garage so that it swings out instead of in to save a little space inside. I see that all of the doors here at work swing out & they drilled holes in each of the hinges on the inside and put a set screw in to hold the pin in place. I know they're also sitting in steel frames too. I'm not real worried about a break in, I live in a smaller town, but could also put in a long throw deadbolt too. Any thoughts or ideas? Should I? Shouldn't I?

Fire code requires that entrance doors on commercial buildings swing out.

Don't know why this doesn't apply to residencial, but then it would be very

difficult to add a storm door to an outswing door at home. FWIW !

Here is a good discussion on this already.

I considered it, then dropped it because of price. It was 4-5 times more expensive for the door.
