External front doors can be hung to open inwards or outwards. Todd Doors frames are designed to open inwards (especially for Oak frames) as this is the most secure way to have a door and the most popular too. However, our RHP frames and upcoming essentials frames are reversible, which means that the frame can be assembled and fitted to open either inwards or outwards.
There are benefits to having a door that opens inwards:

• Opening inwards prevents the door from drilling or breaking off the pivot of the hinge and taking the door completely off its hinges. However, the hinges we use in our door sets are concealed hinges that do not show on either side and so could be used for inwards or outwards openings. These hinges make it easier to seal against draughts and water entry.
• Opening inwards prevents the door from opening into people’s faces.
• An outward opening door can be caught by the wind and snatched away from your hand, smashing into whatever is in its path. An inward opening door cannot be affected in this way.
