I just wondered why Yale locks were always fitted at eye level but mortise
locks were fitted half way up the door (traditionally)


If there were no pre-ordained conventions to cloud your

judgment, wouldn't you still fit the lock that provides security

in the middle where it will do most good, and the latch

that adds convenience and privacy in the most accessible

(to an adult) place?
