One of the requirements are that all outside doors must open OUT. Other than keeping hurricane force winds from pushing the door in, this also keeps intruders from kicking a door in because it is supported by the door jam all around the door.

Then it isn't a problem for you. The Tri-bolts work well on the doors that open in. And actually, I don't see why they wouldn't work well on the doors opening out, making them harder to be pulled open.
As for the video of how to break into a garage in six seconds, that doesn't work on our garage door because the latch has to be pulled down in the opposite direction, and you would have to be inside the garage to do that. At least in all the houses built in the last four years. I don't know about the older houses. The fix on the other ones is to put a plastic tie through the holes so the latch can't be pulled down at all.
But hey, I still want that white car.
