Usage

Iron doors can only be opened with redstone power; players or wind charge blasts cannot toggle iron doors.

Barrier

Iron doors can only be opened and closed by a redstone signal. When an iron door opens or closes, it immediately changes its orientation without affecting anything in the space between.

Redstone component

An iron door is a redstone mechanism and can be activated by weakly powering any cardinally adjacent block. When activated, the iron door immediately opens. When deactivated, it immediately closes.

Air pockets

Iron doors can be used as air pockets underwater because they can't be waterlogged. They can also be used as air pockets in lava in both Java and Bedrock Editions since they don't burn in lava.
