Doorknobs invented in 1800s, like i thiught. 

Middle Ages had a “thumb latch”  or something  

By the Middle Ages, things got a bit more sophisticated. Castles and homes started using wrought-iron latches and basic locks. These were often thumb latches, where you pressed down with your thumb to lift a bar and open the door. Sturdy.

    "Archaeological finds, such as those from Viking settlements, Anglo-Saxon hoards, and medieval castles, provide tangible evidence of lock evolution. Excavations at sites like York (England) and Novgorod (Russia) have uncovered iron padlocks with spring mechanisms, while Gothic cathedrals yield bronze locks with religious engravings. These artifacts, housed in museums like the Victoria and Albert Museum or the Cluny Museum, reveal the diversity and sophistication of medieval lock design, from utilitarian to ceremonial."
