Hello everyone,
I have a question about the opening angle of the front door.
We have a very wide entrance, and the front door will be placed in the center, with fixed glazed side panels 1 meter (3 feet) wide on both the right and left sides.
We had actually decided on a door design where the door leaf overlaps the frame on both sides, but the opening angle in this case is only about 110° rather than 180°.
Does anyone have experience with something like this? I imagine it could be inconvenient in daily use if the door doesn’t open fully up to the wall, right? Maybe it would be better to choose a door that only overlaps the frame on one side?

Our hinged door (HT) probably opens about 120° (120 degrees). Since shoes are sometimes stored behind it, it often opens only about 90°-100° (90°-100°). However, our hallway extends forward rather than sideways, so we rarely need more than 90° (90 degrees), except occasionally for moving furniture.

The key point here is that it’s a large door unit, so I wouldn’t limit anything, especially for the children.
Technically, there are no advantages – it doesn’t allow for anything larger to fit through.

It also depends on the hallway. If the hallway is rather narrow and elongated, a 180° opening is not possible anyway. Instead, I would prefer to choose a slightly wider front door. For me personally, anything from about 100° is sufficient, and at 110° I wouldn’t worry at all.
