The problem I have is when you have a door that has a hardness of X and the fighter can do a maximum of X+1 damage and wants to beat on it until it breaks.
At higher levels, there are no standard doors that a fighter cannot break through. "What? Adamantite door? Bah. I'll go through it. Piece of cake. Just let me borrow your dagger and I'll hack the door down." You have to start making the doors "embued with a wall of force" or have some other totally, non-practical door. There are clever ways to handle them, however, they seem contrived to deal with the fighter-basher if used frequently.
(I do realize that roaming monsters and such will come to the noise. Or creatures on the other side of the door will setup defenses.)
Perhaps WotC did this on purpose so parties without rogues could still get through the doors albeit with more pain. Eventually, though, the DM just relegates himself to boredom saying "Don't roll. You get through in an hour. Let's move on."
