I can go on and on.
Every home we have owned, the front entry doors opened in. I've never seen a front entry door open out. Think about this........visitors ring your door bell and you come to the door to let them in the house. You open the door in so you don't hit anyone standing in front of your door waiting to come in. Even the home I grew up in on Long Island, the front door opened in.
