Pay attention to anything you do that makes a clicking noise or metallic noise. It means the door is opening or closing. When you find the right combination, it will open.

As always in these games, you have to try things like this several times... if you get different text when you do something than you got the last time you did it, or if you hear a noise, get a new option.. you're on the right track.
