Difficult on an outward opening one. A bolt or hook on the inside, more like.

That type of candleholder is called a chamberstick. Honestly.

You kept the key on a hook behind the door into the street. Everyone did. We weren't daft!

They might have thought I was making it up to match the subject of the thread.

well, obviously, someone touched it, prolly with their bum.
the old lady who lived in the house went mad and had to be carted off. she had an indoor bathroom but continued to use the outside lav, for convenience, probably. there's 4 or 5 outdoor loos in the houses either side of us, all with recently deceased owners who'd lived there for 60 odd years. in a row of 8 townhouses we're the only ones to convert the coal hole and outdoor lav into a utility room.
