Re: A learning experience: My new Kitchen
In my experience, there are no special rules for the direction of opening doors inside a house or apartment. There are professional recommendations and logic. For example, it is really better to open the bathroom to the outside. And there is a very important argument to this. If a person becomes ill in a cramped space and falls to the floor, opening the door will be a big problem. For the same reason, saunas and built-in shower cabins are opened to the outside and there are no locks. In other rooms, everything is dictated only by the space itself, the presence of space for an open door leaf. Much more important is the place under the switch)). But the front door is much more difficult. Here, in addition to fire regulations (they are complex and there are no universal rules inside and out), the local mentality strongly influences the opening of the door. In my country (Russia), great importance is attached to the reliability of locking and strength of the entrance door. All these armor plates, 6-8-10-12 bolt locks, anti-detachable pins, locking with the crab system, vandal-proof inserts into locks often reach absurd values. The door often becomes several times stronger than the wall in which it is installed, which is already ridiculous, and no one remembers about easy penetration through the window)). And the most reliable design in this aspect is, of course, with an outward opening, here the door frame takes over part of the load. The door with the opening inside the apartment is held only on the lock crossbars, which is not so reliable. But often the builder of the house coordinates the project exactly according to fire regulations with the opening inside. But our man (!!) is still trying to make the door as strong as possible, even if the walls are made of loose foam concrete. And the agreed project can be re-agreed if there is more than 160cm width in the common corridor and an open door does not prevent other residents of the house from running out of other apartments on the floor and running down the corridor in case of a fire. If less, the fire services prohibit opening outside. About 15 years ago, all houses were built only with an opening to the outside, even in cramped vestibules, now new standards have been introduced, doors are initially coordinated, but in the same conditions you can meet different doors. Bureaucracy is a strong thing.
