Hi Dallas,

As an aside, I think the movie versions of that scene depict a screen door.  
Most of those kind do swing to the outside.

One time, I needed to replace an interior door to swing in a particular 
direction.  All I had at the time was a door with hinges on the wrong side.  I 
flipped the door vertically, and voila! ..I had a door that would operate as 
required. The hole for the door knob was a bit higher as a result, but I didn't 
need that part.   It was a door for a utility room, so it didn't have to 
look pretty and perfect.
