Looking for inward opeing storm door

My wife and I are redoing our screened in porch. Can any one recommend a manufacturer of storm doors that can open inward, preferable in the NJ area?
The door will be used as the entry to the porch from the outside. The house entry door is across the porch so the inward swing will not interfere.

 

Fire safety codes require that doors to open outwards so you can get out in a panic. Doors that open inward cause you to step back to swing them open. This has killed some people in the past because there was literally no time to spare getting out. It has also caused deaths because one person trying to open the door will only have the door slammed back shut by another person running into it. It is better to rethink your project with safety in mind. You may also have trouble selling your house in the future when the inspection reveals the door as a safety hazard.

 

Thank you for your response and concern, however, entry doors to a home almost always swing inward (matter of fact you usually have to special order the kind that swing out). Storm doors usually swing out so as not to interfere with the inward swinging entry door that they are typically placed in front of.
Storm doors that swing inward (such as I am looking for) are available, just not usually as a stock item.

Also, NJ has no such fire code or building code for a home, only for public buildings with specific fire exits.

 

no, there is no such thing as an in-swinging storm door. for a screened-in porch, your only option would probably be to get a wooden screen door and install the hinges on the outside.

 

Yeah, I found this out. You can get a custom made one, but it's really not worth the price. After re-thinking it, the porch has 5 windows and is 9'x8' so we felt it had a enough ventilation; instead of screen door we decided to use a standard 1/2 glass entry door. So far it is working out very well.

Thanks for your reply.

 

Ive installed storm doors for customers backwards a few times.I just mount storm door from the inside and pretend i'm standing on the outside.Its always screened porches when people want this.The drawback is that the door hardware is on the wrong side (the key lock is on the inside, and thumb lock on the outside) i explain this to people before i install.To me if you want an in swing, buy the old wooden or vinyl screen door .Ive installed $289 Pella storm doors on a cheap screened porch for people, go figure
