Dear Pierre,
Every bank (and other potentially robbable places) in Australia is fitted with three height marks on all exit doors door. These are at 1.6�metres, 1.7�metres, and 1.8�metres. They are for the benefit of the closed circuit cameras so that if a bank is robbed, the heights of the robbers can be determined from the video tape.
I suppose that these marks could be called 'robber height gages'.
