They have been showing re-runs of the old tv series "The Brady Bunch" on
ME-TV lately. I noticed on that show, they have an entry door, with the
doorknob right in the MIDDLE of the door. The height is normal, but the
knob sits directly in the center of the door, in other words, if the
door is 36", the knob is 18" from both the hinges and the striker plate.

I've never seen anything like this in real life. But I suppose it might
exist. Have any of you ever seen this in real life,

I think so, but I'm not positive. It would have been in Indianapoois
where I lived when the Brady Bunch was on tv. Crow's Neck Drive had
some fancy homes, and I visited a couple. Fancy but not that much more
expensive. Maybe like ours but with a few extra features, including the
door.

It's conceivable that it was a dream, but probably not since two other
posters have seen them.

or is this just a
tv prop? I can not imagine having to drill 18" into the edge of the
door and keeping it straight without exiting the drill out of the door
surface.

They do more difficult things when it's important enough. They have a
jig all set up, and maybe if they make a mistake, the rip off the layer
that got damaged and glue another one on?

It also looks like it would be real clumbsy to operate a door
like that.....

It's the price one has to pay to look classy.
