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

134 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?

So it’s easier for the firemen to get in and prevent the door being blocked from the outside, and the hinges are on the inside.
