Minecraft Door Types:
Minecraft doors can be crafted from various materials, each with unique properties. However, material choice doesn't affect durability or mob protection (only zombies, husks, and vindicators can break them; others are deterred by a closed door). All doors require a double right-click to open and close.

Stepping on the pressure plate opens the door, but be aware this affects both players and mobs. Avoid external placement unless mob encounters are desired.
Mechanical Automated Doors:
These custom-built doors require significant resources: 4 sticky pistons, 2 solid blocks, 4 blocks for the door itself, redstone dust, torches, and 2 pressure plates.
