I guess this would be obvious when you pulled the handle, but it could slow the exit process if somone tried unsuccesfully to put the door thru the hole.

Every door I have seen will go through the opening if one pulls the exit door towards oneself and then rotates it 90 degrees in the direction of the axis of the longer dimension of the door.
