There is one, it just almost never shuts.
So, anyone else bothered by the fact that at settlements only the outer doors close, the inner doors remain open always

Of course completely logical you got him on Ignore, but Rat Catcher posted that on the first page of this thread.
It's one of the many things you should take for given in ED, else you inevitably start noticing more things, and in the end you see all the inconsistency everywhere.
Doh
If it makes you feel better, they're consistently inconsistent.
So out of all the threads on the front page including the one literally asking for a CM response, this is the one that gets some attention?
If you boil their toe off when they dip it in the water, they probably won't try again.
You're saying that like interacting with the community is a favour and not part of the job description.
With this community, I'd be surprised if it wasn't considered as impossible to interact with...
Just sayin'
ETA: I hadn't realised how many gamers appear to take any mention of a possible feature as a promise until I read some of the posts on the Star Citizen forum following one of their 'announcements' - it was equally as toxic and entitled as this forum, odd, isn't it?

Casual comments in a thread are a bonus, as far as I'm concerned. Probably don't need 2-3 levels of management to sign off on them, either, as long as they don't reveal or hint at anything. (As with this one)
They could slam shut while you were in the slot too. When questioned about their purpose one of the devs had a cheeky response: To kill players.
Where's the button to operate this door... asking for a friend
Used to be when they needed child actors to cry for a scene they'd give them a lollypop and then take it away again.
Apparently it works on gamers too.
The access rights system also keeps working at all times, as does the power plant console.
I work in IT... it's best practice to have all mission-critical systems on some sort of alternate power; typically battery backups. Granted, those batteries only last for so long, but I don't think it's too much of a leap to believe you arrived at the settlement prior to the batteries losing power. Of course, this means we always have the most incredible timing.
That is so cool, wish someday that will get use. In undockable megaships, installations and capital ships you can also see similar types of blast doors blocking an area that has the magic force fields.
I have found the following commentary re:Station ''Blast Doors'':
''Access Corridors are narrow as a reference to the station design in Elite, as well as to accommodate an unimplemented feature: blast doors. These blast doors are almost never seen because they are locked open pending a future game update, but on rare occasions a bug can cause them to close and obstruct entry to a station or destroy a CMDR's ship. It is currently unknown what purpose the blast doors will ultimately serve or if they will ever be fully implemented.''
Access Corridor
Main article: Docking An Access Corridor, colloquially known as a "Mailslot" due to its distinctive shape, is an airlock that serves as the main point of entry for Coriolis, Ocellus, Orbis, and Asteroid Base stations. Access Corridors are marked by flashing guidance beacons and are approximately...

That was me, and thanks for saving me from having to look it up!
(FWIW it's been seven years since I posted that video and I have not once seen this happen since. I still don't know whether it's incredibly rare, or FD disabled it.)
