Yes, or standing one step down, reaching up to open the door, then
making slightly less of a reverse descent.

Seems wrong to me.

Me too, hence (presumably) the building reg requirement of a sort of
outside landing deep enough to allow the door to be opened while the
opener remains on the same level.


The problem with steps immediately in front of the door is the danger
that, without being able to see the step until the door is open,
someone exiting in a hurry will not see the step and fall.




Tricky to arrange in my case, though
- to the extent that I'm beginning to wonder about replacing the (uPVC)
door with an inward-opening one.
