91.     Open & Trapped, 4 in 6 chance door swings shut (and is stuck) when if trap goes off.
92-100. Open, 1 in 6 chance it swings shut and is stuck per person unless purposely held open,  2 in 6 chance it closes behind party 2 turns later in any case if not spiked/propped open.

Alarms: A door alarm could be magical, technological, a bell, a bucket of c.p. balanced atop the doorway, a pile of bottles anything that will make noise and alert folks a door has been opened.
There is a 3 in 6 chance of an alarm going off on an alarmed door each time there is an attempt to open it.
An alarm going off will cancel surprise in adjacent areas and most likely call for a wandering monster check depending on how loud the alarm is.
An alarm can be counted as a trap for detection and removal purposes but a thief will not spot both unless taking the time to look for both and something’s just can’t be spotted from the other side of a closed door.

Barred doors- a latch, a stout oak beam, an iron bar. This may or may not be defeated with thieves tools depending on the arrangement and weight of the bar. A bar is not linked to the door lock as it is additional security.
