Hi Paul,

 

Our internal door handles are 1 metre exactly above floor level, our
external door handle is 1100 mm above floor level.

We sometimes use the height of a doorknob above the floor as a frame of
reference for a height of 1 m. I just put that presumption to the test here
in my apartment in Midland, Texas, USA, and I measure 950 mm from the floor
to the tangent at the top of the doorknob collar.  If you have a chance,
please try measuring your doorknob height and see how it compares. 

 

 Thanks, Paul
