Well, ever since I've come out with my new
door, people have asked for a tutorial. Well, here it is. And believe me, it isn't for the faint of heart!
I whipped it up pretty quickly, but I believe that it works, I've included two GMax files so you can use those as a start.
Note: You need GMAX! The 3DS max NWMax doesn't export animations.

But, you can make your
door model, export it without animations, import it in GMAx, and add the animations. (I think). Here's the link and if you have any problems, call me!
If a moderator could please put this in the Tutorial Section!
