I close all doors that lead to my current location. If I get invaded, I can tell where the invader is by the direction from which the sound of him opening the doors comes from. Well, there isn't that many doors, so just the sound itself is enough, no need to worry about direction. Unless the invader got lost, or something.
Also, you're invincible when opening/closing doors, so you can use that as well. A host casted Pursuers and CSS on me in Burg and I just turned around and opened the doors to Wooden Shield balcony. Both spells hit me for 0 damage. He send another wave of the same spells, so I closed the doors. That had to pi...nch the guy off big time.
I'm not sure if the giant door is closable once you open them and the only reason to have them closed that comes to mind is PvP in Dark Anor Londo. With the doors closed all invaders spawning outside must walk all the way to get to you, or
out and invaders who invade you inside the room can't run outside, because the doors are closed.
Lastly. Some people may have good manners of such extent that they close doors behind them even in games.
