One other thing to watch out for is the door blowing shut and locking you inside.
We had one at work for a tool shed and workshop. We opened the latches and left the handles open at the point they released from the catches. We were inside and a gust of wind blew the door shut. The latches turned far enough to lock us in. Luckily we were able to phone someone to open the door for us. We barely got enough signal to call out.
We could have potentially been stuck in there until the next mornings safety meeting before someone missed us. Good thing neither one of us was claustrophobic!!!
You can easily test this yourself. Just open the latches to the point the door opens. Then swing it shut and it latches with not much force. I always make sure to return the latches to the closed position after opening the door or lay a piece of steel in the door frame.
