Default Sliding patio door inside or outside?

As far as security goes, out swing is better than in. You can kick in
an in-swing but you have to take out the entire jamb on an outswing.

The out-swing frees up an amazing amount of space inside the room.


I wanted outswing french doors on my new house for just that reason. The builder
discouraged it on the grounds that in his experience they tend to leak more than
in swing doors.
