If you push on the center there is less distance to the hinge. The greater the distance from the hinge, the greater the torque to open it for the same force ( force x distance = torque)

How would the force needed to open a door change if you put the handle in the middle of the door?

If the doorknob were moved to the middle of the door, it would take twice as much force to open it than if it were at the edge of the door. With the mass of the door being equal. Moment = the force to open the door times the distance to the center of the hinges. If the distance were cut in half it would take twice the force to keep the equation true.

You installed 3 double action hinges on your new door Now your door wont close in the center of the Jam What did you do wrong?

Try removing the center hinge. See if the door closes. If so the hinges need to be set into the jam or the door deeper. Adjust and re-install them. Check to see if your door has a bevel, is the bevel backwards? GL.
