In the instructions it sais that they have to be fitted so that the doors
open outwards. Why is this?? Can they not be fitted to open inwards.

The design of the frame for starters - they're designing to resist
weather from one side.

Have a close look at how they would seal out a heavy rain.
OK you could fit a drip bar across most of the width, but the centre will be
unprotected. Moisture would collect along the centre rebate and run down, an
additional rubber seal may alleviate this. A modern inward opening window (a
french casement?) would have weep holes in the frame to allow moisture to
drain, you would have to drill the base of the french doors' frame to
replicate this.
