Original Note:
The "door" you see attached to the ISS is a thermal cover that protects the hatch over the stations Quest airlock. In these videos, the hatch, which opens inward, has already been opened. The thermal cover is opened after the hatch, allowing astronauts to exit the space station https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2021/06/fact-check-the-international-space-station-does-not-have-a-floppy-door-on-it.html
