During visits to Wincanton as part of the Discworld crowd the lady who rented out spare bedrooms to us in nearby Bayford still didn't lock her front door in the 2000's.
In the meantime you might get some info here- http://www.historyoflocks.com/

Hello all,
One of our enquirers asked - Did people lock their doors at night in the 1820s? Our thoughts are that whilst the door was unlikely to have an integral lock, there may have been some form of barring.
Does anyone have in their collections, an early 19th century door belonging to a domestic residence that would corroborate this?
Kind regards
Micahla
