  I prefer airport style bathroom entry and exits … there is no door, just a walkway the gives privacy to the entry so that you can’t see inside from the hallway.

    Takes up more space though

  That might not be up to fire standards demanding doors in the hallway to be opened to the inside of the room.

    Is that a thing?

    Feels like something door closer makes irrelevant.

    You’d think fire could would require exit always be push, because that makes evacuating smoother.

      I imagine it’s because bathrooms have no point of egress, so the ability to block the bathroom door from the outside (intentionally or not) needs to be avoided at all costs.

        Makes sense.

      Assuming the bathroom is in a hallway, having the door open into the hallway would cause the flight path to be narrowed which would be against (some) fire code(s).

      After all, significantly more people would want to flee through the hallway than out of a room adjacent to the hallway.

      If they opened outward, they’d block egress in the hallway, which would have equal or more traffick than any single room connected and will enough people in the hallway, you wouldn’t be able to open the door to escape at all.

      For small spaces with limited occupancy, you can get away with opening into the room. Main exits are push, unless it opens onto a public sidewalk and not a stoop or something.

  I’m pretty sure there’s regulations against that, so you’re not pushing a door into a random passer by as you’re exiting the bathroom.

  The foot hook handle thing is my preferred method.

  I’m fond of the paper method. Paper barrier to protect me from the gross handle.

  I think the door opening into a main area is not ideal. Like a restaurant with somebody carrying food having to serve a bathroom door that opened unexpectedly.
