Name that could open doors for you (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

handle

This clue is a double definition.

'name' is the first definition.

'that could open doors for you' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for handle that I've seen before include "Infectious disease" , "Part to be grasped" , "Part by which something is carried" , "Person's name (slang)" , "Touch - deal with" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
