Question

the door handles are kept near the edges of the door planks,why?

Answer 1

Answer:

THIS IS SIMPLE PHYSICS.

WE DO THIS SO THAT THE EFFORT IS LESS APPLIED ON THE DOOR KNOB(HANDLE) AND SO IT IS EASIER TO OPEN THE DOOR.

Answer 2

Explanation :

So it seems that door handles are kept near the outer edge (opposite the hinged edge) because of the efficiency of mechanical advantage to enable opening unlatched doors and to resist opening latched doors.
