Why your houses door opens to the inside.

You're Just Saying something really stupid. You should watch cops. The door is an illusion of security. TPTB don't care if your door swings in or out unless we're talking about something unrelated in the term use of this text.

Security screen doors.

Ya you just don't get it. A inner swinging door is the least secure door. Your door is secured by one inch of pine at the most(the thickness of the wood between your dead bolt and the door frame). One good kick and anyone is in your house.

At least that is a start.

lol a bump key is much quicker than trying to break it down

the locks will go first, had the pleasure of breaking into my own house after being locked out, yale lock went through on first hit.

but a bump key would have been quicker.

A outer opening door can have both sides plus the top and bottom reinforced and overlapped by wood or metal. Much harder to kick in.

This is why I love discussion. What is a "bump Key"?

breaking it down would have been near impossible if the door had opened out.

In Australia it is the opposite for commercial and public building doors, they must open inwards. I was told that this is so if the door were blocked from the outside, you could still open it. I think that they just like to do everything backwards though.

Wrong.
It's so you can open your door and get out of your house if there is a pile of snow out there. Otherwise you would be, "snowed in"
Safety building code in the snow belt.

a bump key is a key that will work for any yale type lock. all you have to do is match the type of yale key and then cut down to the lowest point on each pin notch, push into lock, pull out one notch twist and knock in.

its so easy, its criminal these locks still exist.

Skellonton Key fits all locks.

Like I've said before. You only think you're saying something.

The Powers That Be already have a key to every lock you got.

I can sort off understand the snowed in effect because I live in a northern state but have never had that much snow in front of my door. How does this statute apply to apartment doors in an inner hallway? I'm just basically saying that if in a SHTF scenario,a outward opening door is more secure.

how it works

If there's that much snow outside, my door is going to be the least of my worries. I think 10" is the record here and usually we get none.

But our doors open to the inside anyway.

Nice pic but you still have snow piled against an outward opening screen door. Did you die?

door that opens out also has the hinges on the outside so basically you can just take out the pins and pry open.

so you can have a screen door also, silly.

Couldn't find it in English, but here's your answer (no translation needed).

LOL - Sort of.

Originally way back when doors opened in to keep the hinges on the inside, IE you cant get to the pins.

Now in Hurricane zones with hurricane codes like South Florida Exterior hurricane rated doors must open out.

Actually houses in South Florida are so secure with impact rated doors and windows the fire department carries saws to cut their way into buildings.

There are hinges that don't have pins that can be taken out.

That about sums this thread up.

Thank you. This is one reason I posted this thread,too learn.

You aren't paying attention. That opening still has a screen door that opens out. I'm in MN. I have read about people climbing out their windows in the past to get outside. No one has ever died because the snow trapped them in their house.

When crowds rush a door that opens in, it can't be opened. The average family is 4.3 people. Only a house with 7 extended families of Mexicans or Pakis living in it would have that problem.

Around my area... in the winter... you wouldn't be able to get out of your house after a heavy snowfall 'cause it would block the door.
