According to Warscher, quoting Mau in Bull. Inst 1875, p.27,

“Per lasciar entrare i carri il marciapiede è interrotto avanti alla porta, e il selciato della strada continuato fino all’ingresso che è largo come quelli delle botteghe ed era chiuso mediante una porta a due partiti. La porta però non si fermava come al solito: nel bel mezzo della soglia di lava vi sono gli avanzi d’un uncino di ferro, e più a sinistra la buca per un chiavistello solo, mentre l’altro partito ne stava senza.  Invece al di fuori della porta si trovano nella soglia quattro buche quadrangolari, due vicine ai cardini, le altre m.0,20 discoste da quelle”.

See Warscher T., 1936. Codex Topographicus Pompeianus: Regio I.1, I.5. (no.12), Rome: DAIR, whose copyright it remains.

 

(translation:“For the carts to enter, the pavement was interrupted in front of the doorway, and the paved roadway continued up to the entrance that was as wide as the doorway of the shops and was closed by means of a door with two entries. The door, however, didn't close as usual: in the middle of the lava threshold there were remains of an iron hook, and more to the left the hole for a latch only, whereas the other entry was without one. Instead outside the door in the threshold were four rectangular holes, two near to the hinges, the others 0, 20m distant from those.")
