Default Sliding patio door inside or outside?

Standard for French doors is out swing . . . ..

Not doubting your word, but the ones I've seen up here in snow
country all open in. The only weather doors I see that swing out
around here are on small sheds.

Code is to open in on standard doors, I don't see that French doors
would be any different.


But the doors in all commercial establishments must open outward. Fire
regs - a stampede toward the door would trap the people.

As an aside, I would think opening outward for residential doors is equally
valid.
