Re: Doors said by Draiman:An outswing entry door is 10 times easier to pick then inswing entry door as well which is why the majority of entry doors are inswing.
Could you elaborate? |

Could you elaborate? The space between the frame and the door is exposed on an outswing door. I've seen people pick outswings in under 60 seconds as a teen. Inswings they skipped and attacked windows instead.
Not to mention other things like an outswing can get blocked so a fire hazard or if you get snow a nightmare to use that door.

Is that true picking? Plus you are not saying you could do that with a deadbolt? |

Sounds like some old, cheap lock. A properly installed, quality lockset does not allow manipulation of the latch to gain entry. There are also plates which will protect this area from access. As far as a fire hazard, commercial doors are required to swing out as an in-swinging door is considered a fire hazard. |

Yup. That's why almost all businesses have doors that open inwards instead of outwards.
For the sarcastically challenged, that's sarcasm. |

The accepted definition of lock picking is the action of manipulating the tumblers inside the lock, to get it to unlock the same as if the proper key had been inserted. |
