latchstring
A latchstring is a string or cord in a door-latch that could be left hanging outside the door in order to allow entrance from the outside. Pulling the string would lift the latch and open the door. This term is usually used in historical or rural contexts, as modern doors no longer use such mechanisms. The phrase "the latchstring is always out" is an idiomatic expression meaning 'visitors are always welcome.'
Webster Dictionary
Latchstringnoun
a string for raising the latch of a door by a person outside. It is fastened to the latch and passed through a hole above it in the door
