1. No idea! Definitely not a common set-up here. 2. I think he doesn't, and the door is just shut, not locked. But if the handle outside isn't functional, it can't be opened anyway. Which is definitely my sanity-saving headcanon, LOL. The only alternatives are that either he has a key (LOL no), or that he leaves it open for anyone to walk in (I can't imagine him doing that), right? 3. Do you mean like mine? Because that's normal here, and has been for many decades. No idea either, I agree a nonfunctional handle/knob shouldn't look the same as a functional one! That's weird (here). 4. I looked at it frame by frame just now, and you're right, he just vaguely holds the key next to the lock, LOL! But it's hard to catch, and I can see him reaching for the knob but I can't see if he turns it or if he's just gripping it. (I think since it wasn't a close-up, they didn't feel the need to actually work the key. So that part at least is a TV thing IMO.)
