From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Door-keeper
    This word is used in Ps. 84:10 (R.V. marg., "stand at the
    threshold of," etc.), but there it signifies properly "sitting
    at the threshold in the house of God." The psalmist means that
    he would rather stand at the door of God's house and merely look
    in, than dwell in houses where iniquity prevailed.
      Persons were appointed to keep the street door leading into
    the interior of the house (John 18:16, 17; Acts 12:13).
    Sometimes females held this post.
