A guard worked keys at a rusty lock, sending a sharp, metallic sound echoing down the stone corridor when the bolt finally drew.
The first bolt overloaded Kiinyon's spell shield and drew a startled curse.
With those bolts drawn, any one could enter easily from the street.
The clanking of chains being unhooked, keys turned and bolts drawn, then the door creaked open.

I heard the bolt draw back.
A bolt drew back.
They heard the sound of footsteps and then bolts drawn back.
The mechanism creaked in protest, its workings rusty with disuse, but the heavy bolt drew back.
