Question

Are door k***s in Australia very high?

Answer 1

i think it's different for everyones doors?

Answer 2

Only if you are a midget.

Answer 3

Door handles 3/4 the way up the door? I don't think so.

They're waist height (or so) for an average person, just like anywhere else I'd assume.

Answer 4

Just the same height as every other place I personally have been to in the world.... I guess if you consider "normal height" as very high, then yes.  If not, no!

Answer 5

i lived in 20 something homes and only one of them had door handles up the top ~no child could get in or out!! the rest of my homes just had normal door handles!!

Answer 6

standard door k***s are roughly 3/4 the way up door most kids can open them so no not very high

Answer 7

About 120 centimetres is fairly common over here.  Or just under four feet, if you swing that way.

Answer 8

Firstly, doors can open either way in all countries.

Older houses with their original doors like pre 1950s the door handles are at shoulder height for the average adult.

Newer doors are at waist/hip height. That being said, I have seen some doors with slightly lower handles for kids to reach and some with higher so kids cant reach.

Answer 9

Belly to chest height

I never understood how US movies used chairs to lean against doors to keep them shut ... i just thought you had very tall chairs

high door handles make very good back scratchers or massagers   :)

Answer 10

Eh?   Same as north American or European(cept the hinges are on the other side.)

Answer 11

No, not the newer houses..

The older houses with their orignal doors do have high door k***s.. The house i grew up in had high door k***s..

I dont know why there were high door k***s.. people in the old days must have been giants or something
