Loves a door's sound! (6)

I believe the answer is:

adores

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

'loves' is the definition.
(adoring is a kind of loving)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for adores that I've seen before include "is lover" , "Worships as divine" , "Worships, venerates" , "Loves intensely" , "holds dear" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
