Trying to keep a open mind about it, but still having a hard time accepting a out swinging exterior door. Architecturally the space inside and outside adjacent to door must be adjusted to accommodate a out swing door.

I am not sure how out swing doors relate to high winds as in a benefit, I have storm doors that swing out and several times got caught by wind and ripped off, at times because I forgotten them propped open, others right out of my hand exiting the house, can't tell you how many times I got caught by the wind opening a trailer door, which by the way I do own a couple reefers that could be a but of inspiration, they are swing out and double seal polyiso foam, the seals are actually on the door rather than the jamb, I'm sure there is a reason for that and they maintain -20f in a 100f day, granted that unit that powers the cooling system is a 4 cyl diesel motor, I'll have a look at some brand new reefer doors at work see what they have been doing lately

http://www.optiwin-usa.com/builders.html guess I knew about them all along but as a window maker, they have a door too, wonder if you can get the frame and jamb less the glass and use what you please instead, well at least itsa thought and its american made, and its likely still 10k but worth a look

Any cabinet/wood working shop can build the doors.

If I do custom entry doors for my build, I will upload the CAD drawing somewhere so others can use or modify.

granted likely I'll end up building my own too just looking for inspiration in the mean time and this particular outfit are supposedly certified and they have some impressive claims to say the least, apears to me the numbers are fudged a bit maybe some of the more knowleadgeable ones can investigate.

You know they have to pay for testing there doors to get them passively certified. This is just one reason why the doors are over priced.

that and the novelty factor, in some sense the certification somewhat warants their claims, I watched the show last night on outrageous log homes, forgot the name of it, milions of dollars and one of them mentioned utilyty shock 6k propane bill for 45 days, all those outrageous requests and no consideration whatsoever, the designers were loving it too, large windows wherever the view was, glass wall entrances of maybe R1.

the whole PH cert warants a certain performance level, rather than we did the best we could we'll see how it does
