Hatch Engraved Numbers

[Dr Violence]

Hi Guys

Not sure if this has been discussed but Did anyone notice that in ''Some like it Hoth'' when Hurley and Miles saw the people building the hatch that they were Engraving the numbers into the hatch door? They were actually engraved onto the side of the hatch (seen in season 1&2).

Think this is an error?, pretty poor if that's the case and the writers could not even remember that, it was obvious.

Or of course it could be that it's engraved on both but I don't remember that being the case when we see the door before being opened or when it's been blown off and they can see quaranteen written on the inside.

Also the numbers we saw the first time were raised or embossed and in the scene where the numbers were being applied they were using a hammer and punches.

i think they are being punched into the metal rather than engraved which would show them on both sides?

hurley sees the numbers on the hatch right before they blow the door open. but i dont remember if they show them or focus on them on the door after it's off.

I would suppose that either it's a minor continuity error meant to be ignored, or the numbers are on all the doors to the Swan and we just didn't see them.

Right that was my point, it is a small error. We were shown this simply to show how the numbers got there and Hurley's reaction and possibly the guy reading them off.
