   Hi Dallas,   
      
   As an aside, I think the movie versions of that scene depict a screen door.    
   Most of those kind do swing to the outside.   
      
   One time, I needed to replace an interior door to swing in a particular   
   direction.  All I had at the time was a door with hinges on the wrong side.  I   
   flipped the door vertically, and voila! ..I had a door that would operate as   
   required. The hole for the door knob was a bit higher as a result, but I   
   didn't need that part.   It was a door for a utility room, so it didn't   
   have to look pretty and perfect.
