If you have arrived for a "tyled" Masonic meeting after the Lodge room door has been closed you present yourself to the Tyler, who guards the outer door to the Lodge room. He will check your credentials, if he does not already know you to be a member in good standing, and will take it from there. If, for some reason, the Tyler is not present, you would knock on the door, (a Master Mason should know the proper way to knock) and wait for someone to answer.

If you are not known by the Tyler, or vouched for by someone else, you will need to be examined. The examination is basically the same if you arrive before or after the meeting starts, although the exact format, and the questions asked, can vary somewhat between jurisdictions.
