Re: Doors said by robbin:said by LazMan:As for the security - outward swinging doors are easier to break into - the hinges are exposed, and even security hinges aren't that difficult to remove... I'm curious how you would remove a hinge with the door closed? Exterior or interior hinge pins can be removed.
The jam pin with a keyed deadbolt removes that opportunity (at least makes it very hard) to slide/slip/pry the door out. |

kudos:1 | Properly installed exterior hinges with non-removable pins would be very hard to remove.
Interior or exterior, security hinge bolts complete the project with the double keyed deadbolt.
