What does Genesis 19:10 mean?

In spite of Lot's questionable efforts to manage the rapacious mob surrounding his house, they refuse to be turned away. Lot has attempted to protect two travelers, who are actually angels in human form. Lot's fears that these two will not be safe overnight on the streets of Sodom are well justified. As soon as the city discovers there are visitors, a crowd of men arrive at Lot's house and demand he send out the strangers so they can be raped.

Lot refused this, and instead went outside in an attempt to reason with the men. Their reaction to his interference is to threaten to do even worse to Lot. As the men of Sodom move to get to Lot and break down his door, the angels inside the house grab Lot, pull him inside, and shut the door. They have saved his life for the moment, and they aren't done saving him.
