  -> Gracias!! No he oido el termino "fiador"
agree  Hector Aires: En Arg. "traba" aunque pestillo también es entendible. Estoy de acuerdo con lo de la audiencia aunque hay algunos "respondedores" a quienes les molesta que se sugieran términos aclarando, por ejemplo, que es para español europeo o latinoamericano.

  -> Gracias. Sí, el traductor tiene que traducir para que se entienda, no para polemizar con el lenguaje. Y si no se entiende se necesitará una traducción de la traducción (??)
