It would depend how you mounted the opener. Let's say the door opens by
moving to the right. You set the opener on the left and arrange for it to
push against a bracket on the door, without being fixed to the door. Then
if
you want to go in you can move the door manually. Arranging sufficient
travel for the door might be difficult if using a normal vent opener, but
not beyond the wit of a competent DIYer
