Shut means the plate points left of the leave, even if it "felt open."

Feeling is hallway talk. The stamp survives a sweaty palm. Ellis writes SHUT and rings the punch once.

A fade the player "meant" is still a shut plate if the face pointed left of the intended leave. We do not pay intention. If limestone grain grabbed a slightly shut toe, the locker is SHUT and the hardware has to survive that grain or we name a teacher.
