Doors are one of the most common Obstacles in the Tomb Raider Games. Being very common in earlier games, they have become less so over time. Doors come in many forms and can be opened in a variety of ways. The most common way to open a door is by activating a Trigger (pushing a button, flipping a switch, stepping on a pressure plate) or using a Key. But there are also doors that can be overcome by simply opening them, by prying them open, by kicking them down or by shooting them with explosives. A special type of door are the Trapdoors. Doors can also be timed, meaning they close after a given amount of time.
