House Exit Door Into Garage

Garage entry doors we install doors that open from the garage into the house on either side of the frame.

House exit door into garage. For many people the entryway between house and garage is the most used door in the home. Do the same inside the garage. The door should be a steel insulated door and the frame should be sealed as well to prevent carbon monoxide fumes from getting into your home. Since garage doors are an exit we would install the doors to open in the path of least resistance.

Safety is the critical issue when deciding the swing direction. The door between your house and an attached garage is considered an exit door from the home and should swing into the house and not the garage. Whether your garage leads into your kitchen mudroom or hallway you want that door to be durable enough to handle daily traffic and reflect your personal style. A remodeler doing a flip house changes out all the doors in the home to update the interior and replaces the old door to the garage with a hollow core interior door.

Remove any outside wall covering to expose the wall where the door will be installed. The opening in the wall needs to be 4 inches wider and one inch taller than the pre hung entry door.
