Love the sound a door makes! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adore

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'love the sound' is the definition.
'adore' can be an answer for 'love' (adoring is a kind of loving). I am not sure about the 'the sound' bit.

'a door makes' is the wordplay.
'door makes' becomes 'dore' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a'+'dore'='ADORE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adore that I've seen before include "Respect deeply" , "Honour" , "Worship, idolise" , "Love, worship" , "Love to distraction" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
