MrBakedBeansOnToastWhat psychopath architects are still designing bathrooms that you have to pull the door open in order to leave?
mrbubblesortInner doors should swing inward because in case of a fire or other emergency, you don't want to be trapped inside by something blocking the door that you cannot deal with. Even in something were preventing it from swinging open (like a rope or whatever), in theory the person could still get out because the door hinge would be located on their side and they could simply remove it.
NeilWho has these door hinges that are so easily removable? I had to take a door off at my house recently and had to bash it with a screwdriver and hammer like 20 times.
A good poop knife will pop those babies out in no time.
KIM_JONG_JUICEBOXGood to see this has made it over to the fediverse.
Fuck Reddit, I’m leaving and taking the poop knife with me! And anything else that’s not nailed down!
QuarterSwedeAlso because the hinge would have to be on the outside if swinging outward and thus not be securable. As the hung pins could be removed and door opened while locked.
There are locking pins to secure outward swinging doors. Though fire and safety reasons are really why the doors swing the way they do.
In large building some code requires exterior doors to swing out as pressure build on a fire could jam the door closed. Also some exits require push bar which is swing out.
The in swing though makes sense for more smaller buildings and internal doors. Not wacking people and not getting blocked in seems the better method.
