heh... QFT.. please OP look at this.......


hinge pins outside = broken into house

Because those bullet proof french door windows will stop a break-in?

No because if hinges are on the outside they can be unscrewed.

ATOT sets a new bar for stupidity RIGHT here.

Thanks for setting the bar for us RyanSengara!

LMFAO :laugh:

don't know why everyone is laughing at him. Installing hinges so the pins are outside is moronic unless you get NRP hinges. All someone would need to break in quickly and quietly is a screwdriver, pocketknife or other pointed instrument. At least if they have to break a window it will deter some thieves.

Partly the "unscrewed" bit.

But think about trying to remove the hinge pins with a screwdriver or pocketknife.

Better yet, try it at home and see for yourself; you'll get the idea.

why do you think that is funny or unlikely? It is quite easy to drive the pins out of a hinge. I have hung quite a few doors both at home and working in construction.

I'm sure that makes tons less noise. "Don't mind the pounding of metal, that's just mr. sneaker robber quietly removing your door pins"

The amount of force is dependent on the particular hinge. Some have tighter pins, and some are even lubricated. I guarantee you that most hinge pins could be removed quickly and quietly. But that's not an issue when no one's home anyway.

isn't there a special hinge you can get so that you can mount them to open outwards?
