door knob height

[edwardh1]

yet another foreign country question- watched HGTV about 3 wellington australia homes, in different parts of the city.

most of the interior doors seemed to have the door knob about 5 ft off the floor - almost face high on my short wife-and neck high on me.

whats that about?

I've been to Australia twice and don't remember any funny door knob issue. It is probably to keep the kids inside an away from the dingos.
