two feet above the knob, so I'd imagine that anyone shorter than 4'6 or so would have trouble reaching it.

Two feet? That seems rather high, the one's I've seen are just a few inches. My calculation is that reaching your hand over your head you can grasp something 1.25x taller then you, so measure something's height, and multiply by .8, and that is the shortest person who can grasp it.

That's a good rule of thumb, Prof Sai. Nice chart though =-)
