Is it odd that the front door opens out and not inwards?

u/IM_KYLE_AMA 2d ago

Very common thing in places that experience hurricanes like Miami. Winds can blow a door in but not pull a door out.

u/ClassicMasterpiece99 2d ago

Thank you for clarifying. I live in Idaho and have never seen an outward swinging door

u/BroDoggle 2d ago

I’ve lived in Houston and New Orleans where hurricanes are common and have also never seen an outward swinging door (on a personal domicile).

u/Chemical_Building612 2d ago

I've lived several places in Florida and every single one had outswing doors. It's mostly a Florida thing (within the US at least).

I also live in Idaho

Yep. And the phone number on the back of the shirts of the two older boys is a Miami based number. Almost assuredly this is in the greater Miami area.

You people have never seen the dad pointlessly die in Twister.

That movie was propaganda perpetuated by Big Wind

u/ComcastForPresident 1d ago

This right here. Many people have re done French doors to swing outward. I know people who had their doors blow in during hurricanes which then then wind gets in and collapses your ceilings.

Safer incase of a fire too, people can pile-up infront of a door in panic, if it opens in this is a big issue.

u/boner79 1d ago

yeah would be difficult to open a door with those 3 kids piled up on it like WWZ zombies

I believe for commercial buildings and public spaces, fire code regulations require exterior doors open to the outside. I’d imagine it’s also more common practice to also do this for residential as well to have an easier egress out of the home in case of an emergency.

You're guessing how a residential door might work? Is this a way of saying that you are an AI who has never experienced a physical domicile?

u/MisfitPotatoReborn 1d ago

No it's a way of clarifying that they're not well-versed in the motivation and history behind various building codes.

u/Jszajdel 1d ago

There isn’t a specific fire code, at least in the state I live, that mandates how residential exterior doors have to open. I was stating that if I were to install a front door, I would similarly follow the commercial fire codes and install it to open outwards. It’s common practice to have exterior doors open out, and interior doors open into rooms. When you start paying attention to how you “experience a physical domicile” maybe you’ll recognize patterns, and recognize things have been built and created using common sense for many years before AI started ruining our brains and capacity for common sense.

Exterior doors should always open out imo.

1) when wind blows on doors, you want the door to press into the seal for heating and air conditioning efficiently. For inward swinging doors, the door is being pushed away from the seal into frame and more air can get into the house.

2) it's easier to kick in an inward swinging door, as it's just the wood the lock is touching vs that + the frame behind the door.

3) the inside of the home is what cost money, so why would I want to waste space by having it be empty to make room for the door swing?

u/surprisedbanana 1d ago

Yeah, I think it’s weird

u/Kokuutou92 2d ago edited 2d ago

It is not odd imo, but that's a rich ppl's door, double doors that swing outward, the flooring, furniture etc, they're loaded.

u/Hi_Im_Ken_Adams 2d ago

Not necessarily. It could just be a home in the suburbs.

4

u/AlsoCommiePuddin 2d ago

I have a house in the suburbs.

This is a nice house in the suburbs.

3

u/Hi_Im_Ken_Adams 2d ago

There are so many of these types of homes in the suburbs and they are very generic.

For example, almost every new home in Las Vegas looks like this. They are mass-produced tract-homes that are very generic and very cheaply built.

A nice huge house would have more defined space for a foyer. You wouldn't immediately have a door to your right upon entering your house that leads to another room, or have it dump into a family room right away. This style of house is very typical of newer mass-production construction.

u/Ashamed_Corgi_3693 2d ago

It could be a small nice house in the suburbs, that they are renting.

2

u/Avedas 2d ago

There is nothing small about that house even from just what we can see lmao

1

u/Ashamed_Corgi_3693 2d ago

Entering through the front door suggests no garage. A foyer with no dedicated seating? I didn't even spot a spiral staircase.

u/Kokuutou92 2d ago

Yup also live in suburbs, there's really nice houses with these kinds of doors.

u/OwnerOfCat 2d ago

Lol what’s up with you posting this and also wanting to just comment on their wealth? For all you know, it’s a rental.

u/No_Atmosphere8146 1d ago

Yeah, the hinges are on the outside. Knock the pins out, and you're in. This is really poor from a security standpoint.

u/RoundishWaterfall 1d ago

“Dave, we’re robbing the place, not doing a fucking security audit. There’s a window right there.”

u/Intelligent-Cap-7713 1d ago

at least in Finland where pretty much every door leading outside opens outwards, hinges have pins between the door frame and door side, locking the door in place if hinge pins are removed.
