I was up at a state park in Virginia a month or so back, doing some rappelling and right before the climbing site there was this old "historic site".
The state had rebuilt the log cabins and such that originally were never really there, but it was interesting anyway.
Aaaaanywho, for some reason there were large doorknobs on these doors. (Because obviously the English settlers had access to such advanced technology.

) And when you used them, they made a K-CHK kind of noise.
