Reasons why outside doors open inward
Easier for the rescue services to smash in if there's a fire etc...
it's easier to waterproof the door due to the gaps being covered from the outside.
So you don't smash into the person trying to get in.
As the snow builds up outside, it won't be blocked.
It can be more secure as the hinges are not on the outside.
Allows a storm/screen door to be installed as well.
If they opened outwards it would be too easy to put some obstacle in place to stop you opening the door from the inside.
