Those properties are optical properties for glazing. They don't apply to 
opaque materials (e.g. T-vis is the transmittance in the visible 
wavelength range)

If you don't have any glazing in your door, you should use a wall type 
to model it. If the wooden door has a window, you can either add a 
window in that wall or model the door as a window with a high frame 
ratio (and set the frame conductivity to the appropriate value for 
wood). But in that case the values you mention would only apply to the 
glazed part of the door.

Kind regards,
