I have a detached garage, and I'm finding it tough to park two cars with an inswing door—it has caused a few bumps already. I'm considering switching to outswing doors, but they seem to cost $400 or more than the inswing ones. Is there a way to modify the bottom plate on an inswing door to make it an outswing instead?

Outswing doors typically require stronger security hinges, which can add to the production costs. Still, I don't think they should be that dramatically more expensive. The real kicker is that manufacturers usually make and stock fewer outswing doors, leading to the higher price tag.
Totally get your struggle with the inswing doors! The price hike for outswing doors largely comes from supply—there are just fewer of them available compared to inswing options.
