FiveM MLO doors not closing: settings and entity checks

Separate an open door from an unlocked door

An unlocked door and a door physically held open are different states. Before changing files, record whether the door moves, whether a lock interaction appears and whether another player sees the same behavior. A missing interaction, wrong authorization and a motion problem need different checks.

Reproduce the issue on a test server with a copy of the configuration. Keep the original package and settings available. Do not remove access controls on a live community merely to find out whether the visual door can swing.

Check the door resource’s actual settings

The published Ox Doorlock settings distinguish default locked state, autolock interval, automatic doors, paired doors, movement rate and Hold Open. Hold Open is explicitly described as keeping the door open while unlocked. If your installed version exposes that setting, inspect it before assuming the MLO geometry is broken.

These are Ox Doorlock concepts, not a universal configuration schema. Other resources and forks can differ. Read the documentation matching the version you run, record its current settings and change one relevant setting at a time. A lock timer is not automatically a guarantee of the physical movement you expect.

Verify which entity the configuration controls

The Ox Doorlock repository documents creating an entry with /doorlock and then selecting the intended entity or entities through the targeting interaction. For an existing entry, compare the selected door with the actual doorway. A paired entrance requires checking both leaves rather than assuming one selection describes the whole opening.

Test whether the same doorway has more than one active configuration or competing resource. Keep an inventory of the entries and integrations involved. If two systems manage the same door, changing only one can make the behavior appear inconsistent. This is a diagnostic possibility to verify, not a claim that every open door is caused by duplicate scripts.

Decide whether the problem belongs to the map author

If the correct configured door still behaves incorrectly, capture a minimal reproduction for the map author. Include the asset version, exact location, game edition, server build and a short description of the movement. Compare behavior with the gameplay integration isolated in staging when the package instructions permit it.

Do not confuse a doorway with a portal definition. Sollumz’s interior workflow describes portals as part of the room structure; that does not establish a working lock, job permission or movement script. Use the MLO terminology guide to identify which part of the package you are discussing.

Confirm a fix through the whole interaction

Test authorized and unauthorized access separately, then check the documented relock or closure behavior. Repeat after reconnecting and, where relevant, restarting the test resources. Verify that another client observes the same intended state. A single successful button press is narrower evidence than a complete working access flow.

Keep the previous configuration and record the exact change that improved the result. Magnate has not executed this workflow against your door package; this is documentation-based troubleshooting. It concerns FiveM GTA V resources and does not establish GTA VI interior compatibility.
