Han er udendørs og går indenfor (hvis det gør nogen forskel på hvad den bedste oversættelse af latch er)

lås
Explanation:
"Latch" kan også bare være "lås", altså uden nogen specificering af, hvilken type lås, der er tale om. Og da det lyder lidt som et stykke litteratur, du er i gang med at oversætte, må jeg erklære mig enig med Christina (CD), og vil foreslå en oversættelse til "lås".

Prøv evt. at slå "latch" op på nedenstående link.

Jeg havde selv umiddelbart oversat det til lås (men kom i tvivl), så den vil jeg holde fast i.

Tak for hjælpen. :o)

neutral  Christina Clark: I would go for 'lås', but probably leave out 'latch' unless he actually unlocks the door. I think you can safely put' Jeg åbnede døren...'

agree  schwensen (X): Jeg ville også bare sige "Jeg åbnede døren...", hvis sammenhænget tillader det.

Explanation:
...er et ord jeg personligt godt kan lide. Det er et dejligt præcist ord, men det passer måske ikke ind i den aktuelle stil :-)
Andre muligheder er haspe eller skydelås.
Det kommer vel også an på hvad slags dør det drejer sig om (en lem? en skurdør?)

God arbejdslyst,
Mads

agree  Charlotte Langbeen: I think "haspe" would be the most precise translation. I do not think you would grasp a "lås" - you would lock or unlock a "lås".
