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, or is this just
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. It also looks like it would be real clumbsy to operate a door
like that.....

I have a doorknob in the center of my front door. I've never had any
problems. On the outside it has a round brass knob and the inside is a
glass knob.
