In this short YouTube segment, Nick Perry warns homeowners and prospective buyers to avoid houses with exterior doors that open outward, where the hinges are on the outside. He explains that burglars can simply use a screwdriver to remove the hinge pins, lift the door, and gain entry within 10‑20 minutes. Perry emphasizes the speed and ease of this break‑in method and urges viewers to either avoid purchasing homes with such doors or replace the doors immediately to improve security.

Never ever buy a house that has a door like this, otherwise burglars could break in and empty your home while you are doing grocery shopping. See if the house you're looking at has an exterior door that opens outward. That means the hinges are sitting on the outside. So now all the robbers need to do in order to get inside is use a screwdriver and pop 'em out. And once they have, they can simply lift the door, go in, take whatever they want, and get out. All within a 10-20 minute time span. So if you have a door like this, change it now.
