Door Without a Latch

It's no true door without a latch,
After closure,still easy catch:
Robber to one's helpless things snatch;
A firm structure turns a bad thatch
And up with things one starts to patch!

It's no Good Gate which lacks a latch:
Could never an invader match,
Who'd across it march with his batch...

Woe to a door met as a batch,
Which carpentry needed a latch:
The Devil's plot agent shall hatch.
