I think the best way would be something like this:
obj/door
  icon_state="closed"
  density=1

  New()
    ..()
    // tell our doorway turf there's a door here
    if(istype(loc,/turf/doorframe))
      var/turf/doorframe/T=loc
      T.door=src

  // return 1 if M may open this door
  proc/knock(atom/movable/M)
    return 1   // sure, come on in

  proc/open()
    icon_state="open"
    density=0

  proc/close()
    for(atom/movable/thing in loc)
      if(!thing.density) continue
      return  // a dense item was found in the doorway
    icon_state="closed"
    density=1

turf/doorframe
  var/obj/door/door

  Enter(atom/movable/M)
    if(!M.density) return ..()
    if(!door.density || door.knock(M)) return ..()
    return 0   // door is locked

  Entered(atom/movable/M)
    door.open()

  Exited(atom/movable/M)
    door.close()

I did this a little different from DWO; to open a door you just walk right into it. To use this, you create a special turf for the doorway. Put the door object on that, and when the world starts up the door will notify the turf that it's there. It might be more interesting to have the door close after a certain time period, like maybe a second; to do that, change door.close() to:
    spawn(10) door.close()
