Hi All,
I'm moving my back door from the rear wall of my house to the side wall and I'd like to have it open outwards instead of inwards. If I fit the required sills etc, is there any other reason like fire escape regulations or unavoidable water ingress due to the design of the door/frame that won't allow me to do that ? I'm also replacing my kitchen window with french doors. These will be adjacent to my current back door position and opening outwards, so I will have a means of escape from the kitchen area with outward opening doors if that's a requirement.
All advice much appreciated.
Thanks,
P.J.
