What do you all think?
Should people who are grappled be able to open and close doors?

One is that grappling is pretty powerful and prevents people from doing plenty already.
Two is that it makes perfect sense that someone wouldn't be able to work a door while grappled.
Considering the chances to working doors in combat already, I'm curious how this would actually play out. I think giving the grapplee a bit more to do in that scenario is likely for the best, considering how few other options they're given.
Note: The same is also applicable to unlocking/locking vehicles currently.
That said, if you're getting grappled in front of an apartment full of all of your crap, you're probably not going to take the time to deliberate with your attacker to decide whether you can close that door or not. You've got about a second before his buddy walks right in, after all.
