Is 'close' wrong?

Hi!
Either is acceptable, but 'Close the door' is better if you don't want it to sound as if it has been slammed.

They mean very much the same in some cases as in Shut the door and Close the door. The general difference is that shut has a more mechanical sense and close a manual sense. When writing one of the other it would depends on what kind or movement or tone you want. Close is more quieter than shut.

Dear JN,
I believe eith er is acceptable. However, "shut the door" has a more stern theme. You know who the "door" is? The Lord Jesus Christ is the door to the kingdom of heaven. For more info see the references blow.

They're equally correct; thought "shut the door" is a bit more colloquial.

grammatically shut the door is the perfect one
