He heard the door creak open then close behind him.

When a door creaked open, he would turn, thinking it was her.

He opened his mouth to say something, but the door creaked.

The door creaked open behind him, and he looked over his shoulder at the man who came into the sitting room.

At the back of the hall, another door creaked open and a man came into view.

As he rose to his feet, the door of the tiny room creaked open.

He heard the door creak open and did not turn his head.

The door creaked open and feet were on the floor.

Then the door creaked open and a woman's face appeared.

It took a bit more than five full minutes before the door creaked open.
