Reversing French Doors .

[John Houston]

I have fitted many UPVC windows and French doors but I have to show my ignorance on this matter .
A friend has bought French Outward opening doors on ebay for his porch but has asked me to fit them (reversing the cill) so they open inwards .I know from fitting inward opening in the past they had drip bars on each door is that all ?.Is this all I need to buy from my supplier?
Thanks John.

Thats the only parts you will need but you will need to seal up the drainage holes and drill new ones on the other side (both in the threshold and the bottom of the frame).
Also assuming the doors are internally beaded they wont be secure if fitted that way so you may want some security clips or tape.
You may also want to swap the handles around so the screws are on the inside.

Thanks Gazman .
I forgot about the drainage holes .With it being a Porch the security is not too much of an issue as the front door is very secure .Good shout on the handle too .
Thanks again John.
