I'm sure there's a better way of doing it but here's what I do.

We get the entity index of the door so we can remove it by looking at it and typing this on console.

lua_run_cl print(LocalPlayer():GetEyeTrace().Entity)

Once that has printed we grab the number it outputs.

Next we need to remove the door so we create a server side file where we hook InitPostEntity and remove the door as shown here.

function RemoveDoors()
Entity(number you got before goes here):Remove()
end
hook.Add("InitPostEntity", "RemoveDoors", RemoveDoors)

Nooo!!! This is completely wrong!
This would make it so every time the lua file is loaded it would remove the entity with that number!
And also the entity of a map doesn't always have the same id, you would remove completely different things!

Yo should instead use:

and to get the entity with that number:

It always has the same id.

Only load it once?????//?/?1

It will not always have the same ID, changing the number of max players will skew entity numbers.

If the file is ever reloaded on the disk it will run again, removing whatever entity has that number now.

Like geferon said, you want to use [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/MapCreationID]Entity:MapCreationID[/url] and [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/ents/GetMapCreatedEntity]ents.GetMapCreatedEntity[/url].

Placing these in Dark Hood's code gives you this:

lua_run_cl print(LocalPlayer():GetEyeTrace().Entity:MapCreationID)

function RemoveDoors()
ents.GetMapCreatedEntity(number you got before goes here):Remove()
end
hook.Add("InitPostEntity", "RemoveDoors", RemoveDoors)

The first one will give you an error. You forgot to call the metamethod.

[lua]lun_run_cl print(LocalPlayer():GetEyeTrace().Entity:MapCreationID())[/lua]

Then after gathering a list, I would do something like this (the numbers inside the table are examples obviously, and I recommend commenting each one so you know what it corresponds to in case you need to remove it.

[lua]local tblRemoveEnts = {
87, -- PD door 1
89, -- stupid door elsewhere
}

hook.Add("InitPostEntity", "RemoveDoors", function()
for k,v in pairs(tblRemoveEnts) do
local objEnt = ents.GetMapCreatedEntity(v)
if(IsValid(objEnt)) then
SafeRemoveEntity(objEnt)
end
end
end)[/lua]
