Create a brush with trigger texture in your room and tie it to the entity "func_portal_detector". Add to this entity the following output:

Code: Select all: OnStartTouchBothLinkedPortals <name of the door> Open

Sorry for double post.
What do I do if i want to enable this trigger when my func_tracktrain is in a position? I need the because the player can shoot both of his portals when he is in the room and activate the trigger and i don`t want that. Thx in advance !

Tracktrains are moving along path_tracks. Each path_track can fire a output called "OnPath". This means, this output will be fired if the tracktrain is on this path_track/passing it.
So just set a path_track of your tracktrain at the position you want (like a sensor).

I think it's OnPass. Just saying so there's no confusion.
