We live in an older mobile home and I would like to replace the "back door" that opens out with a regular door that opens in- Is this possible? Thanks

Anything is possible, just depends on how much work it will take. I'm going to assume your door opening isn't "standard" so a standard door from a box store won't fit?

Reciprocating saws are wonderful things. And new doors come pre-framed to swing any way you like. Have at it.

Hi & welcome. If you have enough room to fit a full size (80") door PLUS the top header you should be fine. You will most likely need to work around some electrical so don't just go in with a saw and start cutting.

If you can't fit an 80" door, you can still replace it, just cut a full size door down. See the articles section of the site.
