Well, in my opinion, as long as the door itself was not malfunctioning,there is no case. To prove a premises liability case, in most jurisdictions, the claimant must prove 1) that there was a specific defect of the property, and 2) that the property owner knew or reasonably should have known about it in advance so as to have an opportunity to fix it before the accident, and 3) that the property owner neither fixed it nor warned of its existence, and 4) that the victim could not discover the defect on their own, and 5) that the defect caused the claimed harm. If you cannot prove all of those things, then you probably do not have a case.
