Did your character controller inherit from the standard first person controller? Because it looks like inputs aren't working, we can see that the inputs are being enabled but pressing E isn't triggering the function.
You could try a quick debug check like this: (will only work with enabled inputs)

I reproduced it in my project and got weird behaviours when using 'reverse from end' and a quick google showed me that that input might be bugged.
Using the 'reverse' input however works flawlessly, and even allows users to close the door before it has opened fully.

Want to support a wonderful indie game's sequel and help a very queer, very BIPOC driven game succeed? There are 5 days left. If you can help fund this visual novel, please do so. I upped my pledge the best I could within what I can afford. Please consider helping Women of Xal II become real.
Sorry, folks. Seven days to go and 50% funded. We'll need a modern internet miracle to see these lovely ladies get their sequel. I was always worried that the visuals were not appealing to most VN gamers, but... ouch

I know that that is the prevalent viewpoint, but having done small prototypes and gamejams in both Unity and UE5 I find that on the whole I'm actually up and going quicker in UE5 than I ever was in Unity 😬
