عربي term

وكالة من غير بواب

عربي إلى أنجليزي أخرى التعبيرات الاصطلاحية \ الأمثال \ الأقوال المأثورة
في يوم صيفي قائظ وفي عز الظهيرة، دخلت على صديق عازب، في شقته المشرعة الأبواب دائما التي ليس عليها أي أقفال، كأي وكالة من غير بواب.

Literally "an agency [shop?] without a doorman", but I understand it's an expression.

Thank you for any help.
