How to install a entry door for workshop?

2008-01-27

I'm building a 16×20 workshop in the back yard. There will be a 36″ steel entry door along the front wall near the left front of the addition. For security purposes, is it better to have the door open towards the inside or have it open out? I was thinking of having it open towards the inside so when fully open it would be parallel with the left side of the building. But would that make it easier for someone to kick it in? Does that not matter? I realize that if someone wants to break in they will probably find a way in. So should I just install it the way that works best with the inside shop layout? Please help I'm OCD' ing.

Answer:

All external doors should open to the inside for security purposes. If not then the hinges will be on the outside, making it vulnerable.
If security is a concern, add an extra king stud to each side, and use long screws through the hinges. Get a good deadbolt.
