It seems to me "average" height is a reasonable compromise. If peepholes were all set to be easily used by my daughter, it would make it tough for my 6' niece to also use them. Surely tall women have as much right to safety from peepholes as short women?
I agree. A peep hole at around 5ft 6in should be well placed to be reached by a 5ft person or by a 6'2" person. Might actually be easier for the smaller person.
Dave,
bseller, the adjoining room door is ANOTHER entry way into the room. So in principle it is a security risk. It's just as safe or unsafe as the actual corridor door but now you have two access points.
As far as high up rooms go, I think I already said that, it makes sense to choose one not higher than 8th floor because most fire ladders can't reach higher. I regularly don't follow my own advice because the view you can get from a room in a high floor is just too alluring.
