Where would you find a door that opens outwards in a situation like that? Someone coming out would be knocking those outside down the steps. That door would always open inwards, in real life.
Most people would know that, without even thinking about it.

Some idiot has fitted the door the wrong way round.
That's why the closer is outside, exposed to the weather, instead of inside in the dry.

Doors in escape ways often open to the outside so that crowds fleeing in panic can easily open the door.

You can buy all weather closers. As nine says it is an external door which must open outwards for such a building.mistermack wrote:I see what's happened now.NineBerry wrote:X

That's not true.
They CAN open outwards. They don't have to. And they don't have to have closers fitted anyway.
You wouldn't fit an outward opening door in that situation for the reason I gave, that it could tip people down the steps. Also, it would actually be very awkward to open, you would either have to back down one step, or squeeze yourself around the door as it opens in the limited space.
In real life they would fit an inward opening door, with no closer, so it can stay in the open position in the event of a fire.
Or have a bigger platform outside the door, or stairs that turn left or right.

In real life, they would never get away with building that. Anyway, why have the floor level that high off the ground?

In 1994, the KKK applied to sponsor a section of the Interstate 55 highway near St. Louis, Missouri. The Supreme Court ruled the state could not refuse the KKK's sponsorship. But the state of Missouri took revenge by renaming the entire stretch of highway the "Rosa Parks Freeway." (en.wikipedia.org)
