EN: latch
The old-school doorbell. It's that heavy, often ornate, piece of metal on your lola's ancestral house door that you use to announce your arrival. It's also the latch that makes a very satisfying 'clank' sound when you secure the door for the night.
Spanish 'aldaba' (door knocker, latch).
Can refer to either the latch mechanism (trangka) or the knocker (pangkakatok). More common in older, traditional houses.
