Thank you Mike.  Since the back of the shop is a work room, "front door"
sounds very sensible.  I think it is better to take an educated guess
because some readers, in this case for example, would have no knowledge of
just what a Chandler's shop is.

Based on context you've provided, if I were editing the book, I would
change that to "front door".

This leads me to ask a general question of those reading this.  Given the
uncertainty of what those scrambled letters stand for, is it a better
procedure to take an educated guess or leave things status quo leaving it
to the reader to make an interpretation?
I can see arguments on both sides; wonder if there is any consensus!
