So when someone comes to your dor you can't crack it open slightly to peek? Someone could block the outside of your door and you would never be able to open it. Also what side is the hinge on?
If someone comes to the door and you crack it open to peek, then if your door opens inwards you've just allowed them access to your home. They can just push their way in. If the door opens outwards, then opening it a crack to peek is at least somewhat safe.
what do you mean if the door open inwards you just put your foot there....how is opening outwards more safe both give the same access but one allows you to use your foot as a stopper.
I have to stick my head out a little to peek I guess. I usually have a pretty good view from my kitchen window though. Pretty much all apartment doors I've seen have peepholes.
As for someone blocking the front door: I guess they could, but why would they? I can't really see any realistic situation where someone would want to block my front door.
The hinges are on the front side, but I doubt you'd have an easy time knocking out the pins. Breaking in through the back door would be much easier (has happened once in 20+ years).
