QUESTIONS ON RASHI

4)

Rashi writes that he locked it with a key. How did he have the key?

It seems that the key was left near the door 1 (PF). Radak (25) says that it could lock the door from the inside or the outside.

I.e. the door was not locked for security, rather, so people would know not to enter now (like in Tamid 1:1. - PF)
