Why do fire exits open out but my front door opens in?

142 views

I am thinking about another post that I saw on this sub the other day. I learned why fire exit doors open out to make sure that people can escape during the event of a fire, but then why does my front door opens into the house? Wouldn’t it be safer to open out?

Also, my bedroom doors and bathroom doors open in. Same reason?

Fire exits open out so people won’t be unable to open the door or die by being pushed by a scared mob while exiting a dangerous situation.

Your door opens in so you won’t smash someone in the face in the hallway as you open it.
