Door handles
Is there a specified (probably EU driven) height above floor/ground
level for the handle of an interior or an exterior door? TIA -- Frank Erskine |

The position is usually governed on timber doors by the lock-blocks on flush doors [1] or the middle rails of tenoned or dowelled jointed doors [2] and the actual fitting between those boundaries is down to personal choice or circumstances. [1] Usually running at about half-way (either side of the centre line of the door and around a foot long) on one side of the cheaper doors - or both sides of the more expensive ones. [2] Usually you try and fit the lock/latch in the stile just below the middle rail to avoid cutting into the mortise and tenon or dowelled joints of the rail (although again, there are exceptions to this when circumstances dictate). Hope this helps Cash |
