Best Answer

Barring the door is equivalent to locking the door in modern times. The chilly wind can enter the room if the door is not closed.

Symbolically, the door represents protection. Like any one in real life, the goodman wants to be protected by outside evils. With the door unbarred, two strangers, representing demons, enter and threaten the goodman and goodwife.

The goodman in the Ballad "Get Up and Bar the Door" wants the door barred as he doesn't want to be the one to do household chores. By refusing to bar the door, he hopes to make his wife do all the work, amusingly leading to a standoff as neither wants to give in.
