There was an iron with a hole in it placed in the door-case and when the people used to be going to bed at night, they would push the "bolt" into the iron. This would keep the door secure and it could not be opened from the outside. When they would get up in the morning they would pull out the "bolt" and this would enable them to open the door. The "bolt" was on the inside of the door and it was down near the bottom of it.
Sometimes there were two "bolts" on it. One was near the top and the other at the bottom of the door. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
