One issue I can see with the current design is that if someone needed to exit the house in an emergency, they could open a door, but they may need to cut through the screen. I don't know if the current design even complies with the building code, since the lanai is a heated and cooled room.
Yes, our Lanai has an exit man door to the grille patio. Since the screens are so large (4 patio door widths) I am intimidated to remove those huge screens. I'm up for hiring a professional window washer that has encountered this setup.
