Is this suitable for French doors that open to the outside?

I used this for my security storm door. You need to have a solid door jamb for this to work properly.

My hips are quite wide and I can get through. You can always go through by turning a bit to the side. I think a wider gate door wouldn't have enough stablity for a standard doorway sized opening. The side panels would be quite slim, but they are the ones the hold the pressure.

It would not work without cutting a section out of the weather strip. I used on exterior diir and has to cut about a 1 1/2" section out of the weather strip to get it to work. Other than that it works great. Old house and the bottom of the door always had movement and now it is secure.

I use mine on French doors that swing in as well. I just swing the doors in as far as they'll go, then put the bar inside the door frame and it works great! (Obviously you have to take it down to close the doors). Let me know if you need to know anything else. BTW I love this screen!

Yes it does. A sliding or French door will work too if you are willing to do some adjustments.

It's not the best for front doors because, in order for it to work properly, there has to be that slight gap (maybe 1-2 inches), so the door is actually open. If you are't worried about bugs and don't mind a draft, then go right ahead. :-)

Yes. As far as fitting that way, there's no reason it wouldn't fit on the outside of the door. Except for the fact that you'll be able to see it!

Definitely not as the frame of the construction has to be resting on the outside of the door frame. So it would not be possible to open the door if it was mounted this way.

On a regular door, the lock swings out to catch the door frame. So if one French door remains locked shut when the other side is opened, the Top of Door Lock should catch it. And there must be enough space between the doors for the Top of Door Lock to fit in. There should be a gap of at least 1/8 inch per this review:

Yes. Gravity will open the louvers. Don't think that is the best application for this.

I'd say no, since it vents to the outside, don't know if it would open fully.

Yes. My French doors are 60x77 and the screen works fine. There is still the outside frame which can hold the rod for the screen in your case (door swinging inward). The only issue I initially had with the screen was that the ad showed the screen split in the middle and the one that was shipped to me had the opening off to one side. However, I've got used to it and it sort of works better to keep the bugs out when I only have one half of the door open. Hope that makes sense and is helpful.

I can't really help because the knobs I bought were interior knobs. I would not use them on an exterior door.

The description on the page says it is reversible so it will work with doors that open either direction, so I'm gonna agree with Jerry and say yes :D

Yes I am using them on metal French Doors that are exposed to all weather, including snow. Work perfectly.

Yes, I think so. However, if there was a strong breeze it would depend on how heavy the door is and how strong the breeze.

It could be used in a covered outdoor entryway. I would avoid exposure to sunlight and direct rain.
