Basically what he did in that code was make a box (the box ix the door) and made it into a limb. By rotating the limb about the y-axis, he was able to make the door open and close.

he actually didnt make it into a limb, nor did he rotate the limb.

he moved the objects inherent root limb, limb 0 (every object has this), so that the object's center, and therefore point of pivot, is to the side.

this gives it a swing open motion. otherwise the object center would remain centered and rotating the object would just make it spin like a top.

Shazam!
