Can the gate be topped with wooden sticks?

The gate can be propped up with a wooden stick. Pushing the door stick in rural areas means that there is a wooden stick behind the door. When you close the gate at night, put the stick behind the gate on the latch, and you can rest assured when you sleep at night. This kind of thing usually happened in the countryside before the 1970s. In the past, every household in rural areas was generally poor, and it was often difficult to deal with stealing chickens and dogs, especially at night, so many farmers adopted the method of pushing the door. This kind of pushing the door seems to be prevalent in the north.

structure principle

The structure of the gate is basically in the frame of lock shell, lock tongue, lock rod and key. Some of them are simplified as simple latches. The so-called "key" is a person's hand, while others do not have the exquisite structure of a rod, but form an organ through a cork and a groove. However, no matter how the ancient wooden door locks developed, as long as there were no metal parts, they could not be separated from the above four basic parts.
