doors Doors in the UK are different in many ways. When they're indoors they like to be right in the corner of a room and open away from the room. In Germany there is usually a closet sized gap between Wall and door so you can fit some furniture there, and the door will open into the room. The handles in the UK are usually a lot smaller, but from what I've seen they seem to be prettier and the doorknobs are also smaller, more like something I'd expect on a cupboard. The door handles are a lot higher up than what I'm used to and I always need to put extra brain power into finding out how the locks work. In Germany when you unlock a door and twist the key a bit further the latch will move and the door will open, so you can do it with one hand easily.
