I found a deal for 3 unfinished inswing french doors on craig’s list. I wanted three for a new house I’m building next spring, but I wanted outswing. Can they easily be altered??
Thanks,
Ryan

While no home can be completely fireproof, implementing these fire-resistant details can increase resilience.

You can modify them with some effort. But, how are they used? Will there be much overhang protection? How much exposure to severe weather will there be? Are they double doors? Or, are they sgl "paned""french style panels? Take off all trim, remove sill, install outswing bumper style sill, install n.r.p. hinges, and you are good to go.
They're double doors with a 10' overhang in a mild weather area. That's why I figured I could just modify them. I've heard differing opinions about outswing doors and quality, what's your opinion? Inswing doesn't go with the flow of the inside, but if I'm going to have quality issues, then I want to change my whole approach.
Thanks,
