The church that my family and I go regularly have four stories. We always use two for Sunday service. The first floor has five doors. The main door which is the first door we see when we enter the church's premises, two side doors on the side, and two doors that open to the first pews.
One thing has always confounded me. In the last ten years or so, after the first five minutes, they've always locked the main door. People who come late then have to use the side doors. I've never understood why they do this. Is it to discourage people from being late? I don't think so. Because a lot of people just go to the second floor. Is it because the church doesn't want to distract the elders in the front that are on duty?
Furthermore, if you are late, then you go in through the side doors, wouldn't it only distract the people inside? I rarely find churches who locked the main door. I find it really odd that they do this.
