Who guards the door and assists in initiations?

The doorkeeper—the Tyler, often called the Outer Guard—is the one who guards the door and helps with initiations. He stands at the lodge entrance to control access, making sure only those properly admitted and prepared are allowed in. This keeps the ceremony secure and orderly. During initiations, the Tyler works with the Master and other officers to admit the candidate at the right moment and to assist with the ceremonial flow as needed. The Worshipful Master presides inside, the Senior Deacon guides candidates through the ritual, and the Secretary handles records, so those roles aren’t about guarding the door.
