Question about doors

I was never too certain about this (and I need to know since I'm writing something with a similar, but different principle). Okay, how do hinges work with the door? I mean, opening the door in the room USUALLY (as far as I've seen) swings in, right? What about the doors that swing out such as Janitor doors and such? If the door you open swings out and the Lost Room door swings in, how does that work? Or do you think that the hinges reverse on The Lost Room? I mean, anything is possible, right?

I think the room's door replaces the door you're coming out of, so it doesn't matter which way the hinges work.

But what about the "door" made of straws on the hut at the beach,
where Joe end up when he is trying the key for the first time?
That door HAS hinges, but did it have a doorknob and lock?

Hey Vash, LTNT

Good Point.

Reminds me of the trailer door in Jurassic Park.

The first door Joe uses to really try out The Key was a closet door that by all rights should have opened outward toward him -- seriously, when have you ever seen a closet door that opens into the closet? But when he uses The Key, it nonetheless opens inwaard into The Room. So yeah, I think as long as it's a door with a tumbler lock, the details don't matter, and the door becomes The Door to The Room.
