Also, the hinges are exposed to the outside, where anyone could pop the hinges and take the doors off. 
What do you think? |
See my reply to Tinker. Also interior hardware and exterior are different animals. There would be no key hole if interior. If his front door and garage entry doors are Kwikset locks he should replace the back ones with kwikset smart locks so they can use one key for all. Ps I’m calling BS on the salt air
