Turning wooden door front door to open outside

How much should it me to have a wooden main door to have opening towards outsude rather than inside at the moment

Hi Jay if it's a front door it's most likely that the frame will be rebated ( a stepped section where the door sits) and have a cill that sits on the outside. It maybe possible to remove the frame, turn the cill round, re-fit the frame and re-hang the door as it previously was. The other alternative would be to try and remove the stop section of the rebate and then re-hang the door on the outside. Either way a fiddly job that would really need to be looked at. If you set your budget at £150 that should cover it. Ed
