Noah was 600 years old, and I don't know how old his sons were. God shut the door to the Ark.

I don't believe the bible indicates how old Noah's sons were, but Noah was 600 years old.
Genesis 7:6 - And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
God shut the door of the ark:
Genesis 7:16 - And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.

>>>How old were Noah and his sons when they went into the ark<<<
Not sure, but Noah was probably pretty old.
>>>and who shut them in? >>>
Probably nobody. Maybe they just climbed in from the top. Or maybe Noah attached ropes to the door so that it could be pulled shut from the inside.

Noah was about five hundred years old. I don't know how old his children were. And God shut the door to the ark.

Correction:
Noah' son and wife did not join him because they were thinking like other nonbelievers.
“ God tells Nuh that he has been selected as a prophet to deliver to his people a message. The message states that his people have become wicked for worshiping false idols, that all people should believe in the oneness of God before it is too late. Nuh is told to promulgate this message to his people, which he does. He tells his people that they should abandon all their false gods and worship the one true god; God, as he will look after them all. Nuh is ignored and rebuffed by his people. They say Nuh is an ordinary man - if God wanted to deliver a message, why send a man and not an angel? Some call Nuh mad or possessed. Some people tell him that if what he says is true then he should bring about this punishment of God now to back up his claims. Nuh is even threatened with stoning if he does not desist his teaching.
Nuh, however, is undaunted. He says he has asked for no reward, as God is his only reward. He even offers to be killed so that they may know who is righteous and who is not. Nuh keeps this up for '1000 years minus 50' according to the Qur'an. Eventually he appeals to God for help as he feels he is getting nowhere with the people. God tells Nuh that no more people will now believe than have already believed and chose to follow him. Nuh appeals to God to get rid of all unbelievers, as he fears that the believers may be corrupted or harmed by them. God instructs Nuh to build an ark for a flood that he shall shortly be sending on the earth. This flood is not mentioned in the Qu'ran as being a global one.
Nuh builds an ark but is ridiculed by his people. He is instructed to put a male and a female of each animal that is required to start a new life on to the ark. The believers (who are few) and his family are also allowed onto the ark (except for his wife, who is unrighteous and had rejected his message). Nuh's son (he is not named in the Qur'an) does not get into the ark either. He says that he will retreat from the flood on a mountain. The flood then comes, and all are killed, including Nuh's son. The flood eventually ends, with the ark resting on Mount Judi. Nuh appeals to God about his son. He is rebuffed, as God says that the son was unrighteous and unworthy of being saved from the flood. Everyone then exits the ark. None of the people who were on the ark were able to have children, except for the 3 surviving sons. The Qur'an later references current people living as being 'descendants of those who we carried with Nuh'."

Gen 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
To find out his sons' ages, you'll have to read ahead, take notes of dates mentioned, and see if it gives their ages when they died; maybe you can figure it out.
