Just use the Make Door function then. It's this button in the toolbar:

Door is just a sector with ceiling lowered into a floor and a line effect that makes it go up. Which part are you having problems with?

A door action works by raising the ceiling of the sector on the far side of the line from the tick to 4 units below the lowest adjacent ceiling. If there is any sector adjacent to the door with a ceiling which is at the floor level, the door won't open. Also, in Doom, lines have a front side (with the tick) and a back side (without). Directionality is important, as most actions which require pressing the use key to activate should be activated from the front side.

Path out a section of your room using linedefs. It looks the best using 16 mp. Then hit Shift+D while using Sector mode to then make your door. It'll ask you for a texture. I remember having the same problem as you. Making a door manually is kind of hard so I'm glad that DB2/UDB has this feature. I was kind of mad for not knowing when making my first WAD.
 

BTW: Do NOT make your door before your room. It will make the texture of the door the texture of the room
