Default Security of french doors

I love french doors. We are enclosing our lanai and I wanted to install french doors that opened out to the bird cage. Our contractor very nicely pointed out that he would install the french doors opening out, but he needed to advise me that when they open out, the hinges are on the outside of the building and can be more easily removed by a burglar than if we had the french doors open into the house where the hinges would be on the inside. What a bummer!
