Hi, all.

I am writing on behalf of my high school English class students. They have been reading "Graveyard Shift."

In the story, at 4am Thursday, the men lift the door to the sub-basement. Warwick notes a lock on the underside of the door, and Hall remarks that there are many possible reasons for that.

Can anyone help explain why the underside of the trapdoor was locked?

....I have no earthly idea.....I remember it, but couldn't come to any conclusion when I read and re-read the tale(tail?)....possibly, some kind of hidden experimentation that was left unwritten, but led to the genesis of the mutations...locked to keep the curious out.....
