Wow DD, you really have some drift there! It's still snowing here right now, but my deepest drift is ~ 2 feet deep. We only got about a foot or so of snow.

Coop doors must be elevated... And open out.

House doors open in, to hide hinges.

You have shown us before your awesome Finish "I can open outward without exposing my hinges" doors... But niw I can't remember how they work.

OK, I'm a bit confused on the part where the hinge is hidden. From the outside it looks like any other hinge with a non removable pin. The "anti removal just by cutting through the side of the hinge" thing is new to me though. I saw what I thought were Allen screws and figured they were an adjustment feature.

Bruce, depends on the door, some have a steel inforced frame inside them.

this image shows why even if the hinges were cut, the door would still remain in the frame.........provide the jamb has not been compromised........

I think I have the pics of the doors somewhere.

Yup, found them. Or hinges and locks, really.



And because the doors open outwards and aren't made of Saltines, the phrase "Police, we have a warrant" in a movie would be followed by "Ouch, my foot/shoulder". Also, the door sits about 6 inches above the ground on the outside, so it leaves a bit of a clearing for ice to build up without stopping the door.

Makes me want to swap out my front door with yours.

Bert, yup, but a jigsaw is still an option.

Al, mine has a huge window though

It was a dreary day here. Foggy and 93% humidity. The sun just started trying to come out.

Ain't that the truth. Or any north Euro hardware.

My door also has a big window... It has to, or the mudporch would be a cave .

Very nice, V! Target hardening is one of my areas of expertise.

BTW- it's been a long time since we kicked in doors. Now we use a master key.
