Here are some more information for Back Door:

A door can swing in, or it can swing out. I want to briefly talk to you about your doors that lead outside. Typically this would be your front and back door.

In my line of work, security is very important so I tend to think a lot about the entry points on a house. I also get to see many different houses. Some houses I come across have doors that open in and some that open out. I started thinking, "Why aren't they all the same?"

So, anyways, what does this have to do with your door opening inward or outward? A lot, actually. One is better than the other.

I'm going to come right out and say it, outward swinging doors are better. However, chances are yours doesn't.

Why is out better? Here's some things to consider:

It's easier to kick a door in than it is to kick a door out. This one is self explanatory.

Imagine this scenario, a woman is trying to unlock her front door, grocery bags hanging from her arms. Her husband is at work and the neighborhood is quiet. She doesn't notice the man walking down the sidewalk. As she gets her door unlocked and starts to open it the man pushes her into the house, the door giving way, and he closes and locks it behind him. It only took but a second, nobody noticed...

Now imagine the same scenario with an outward swinging door. The woman with her groceries starts to open her door and the would be intruder goes to shove her inside but just ends up pushing the woman into the door, shutting it. Stunned, it only takes the startled woman but a second before she starts yelling and screaming at her assailant. The man's plan failed, and just as he realizes this he's hit in the face with a blast of pepper spray. A neighbor hears the commotion from his house and runs out to help his poor neighbor while popping a magazine full of hollow points into his Kimber 1911.45.

That was a much better scenario.

Now on a different track, weather can be pretty nasty. High wind speeds, gusts, hurricanes and tornado prone storms. Having a door that is able to swing inward can make a mess if the winds blow hard enough. All that debris and rain in your house? No thanks. In fact, I know that homes in Florida are built with doors swinging outward because of the storms and hurricanes every year.

The last point I want to make is actually more suited for those who have a tendency to be pranked, ha ha. (This has happened to me, so take heed) One very exploitable feature of a door that swings inward is that liquid filled containers will fall into your house, spilling their contents in the process if they are tipped up against your door and you don't realize they're there when you go to answer the door in the middle of the night and nobody's around...

It was a bottle filled with urine! It was awful! How would you like it? Stop laughing at me. Get an outward swinging door.

Also French doors make better back doors than sliding doors. It's easier to detect someone breaking into them. You just have to throw a rock at a sliding door and walk in without opening it to avoid tripping a security system sensor. (Although glass break detectors and motions can help counteract this vulnerability.)

Be smart, be secure, be awesome. Later!

How to Automate Your Garage Doors

There are hundreds of garage door openers to choose from but before you can do that there are two key considerations concerning your garage door itself.

Before deciding on an electric garage door opener check that an able bodied person can effortlessly open the garage door manually as a motor will not do what they can’t.  If the door works smoothly and effortlessly, then adding an electric operator should be straight forward.

You will also need to check that your door balances at around chest height to ensure you have the correct spring tension for the operator to lift the door.  If the springs are broken or the door is not balanced properly the electric operator will not work effectively.  You may need to service the door by lubricating the moving parts or replace the door springs and other moving parts.

The other consideration is to know what type of garage door you have.  This is because it is essential for you to choose the correct device to suit your door mechanism to ensure the safe and smooth operation of your garage door.

There are four main types of garage door mechanism: retractable door, canopy door, side hinged door, and sectional door.

Up & Over - Retractable Garage Doors (Tracked)

These are identified by a single door panel with springs either side or horizontal ceiling tracks which support the door in the open position.  When the garage door is fully open, the bottom edge of the door is flush with the garage door frame

If you have a retractable up and over garage door then you are in luck, as these are ideal for automation and you can safely use any type of operator.  Your main considerations must be the noise (AC or DC motor) and the material, width and weight of the door to ensure you choose an operator powerful enough to lift the door.

Up & Over - Canopy Doors (Trackless)

This door type is not recommended for safe automation although there are options available; I would never recommend or safety and reliability.  If you don’t want to replace the entire door and mechanism you can purchase a retractable door mechanism and replace the canopy door gear.

An up & over canopy door is identified by the large spring which runs over the head of the door and when the door is open the garage door panel protrudes by approximately 600mm from the opening.

Side Hinged Doors

These garage doors can be automated using a conversion kit with most operators.  You will need to check the operator can be use for side hinged doors so that the auto-reverse safety feature functions normally.

Sectional doors

Sectional Garage Doors are identified by hinged panels that allow the door to rise vertically without swinging out as the door opens.

They are perfect garage doors for automation as no additional parts are required and you can use any type of AC or DC operator.  To ensure the operator will fit it’s a good idea to check the clearance above the door during its opening cycle then check the minimum clearance requirement for the operator as they vary.

Again your choose an operator powerful enough to lift the door.
