BF> So, how does the front door open in your neck of the wood? Mine (in Germany, so no FBI) opens inward. I can't say anything about others, except that the door to my house doctor also opens inward. If I remember correctly, our house door in Canada (Montreat) also opened inwards. The problem with doors that open outwards is that you need the room in the front to be able to stand on when the door is opened. I would guess that most doors in Germany open inwards for that reason alone. Just think of the problems you have in a multi-party house with several apartments and a starcase if all the doors opened outwards. Nobody could get past an opened door on the stairs when the door is open. Cheers, Bob --- GoldED+/W32 1.1.5-0613 * Origin: Jabberwocky System - 02363-56073 ISDN/V34 (2:2448/44) |
