If the door is closed/slightly ajar, how else do you expect to be granted entry from the person[s] within?
BARGE IN?
Manners!!!!! Not to mention not trespassing

Probably from the olden days when someone thought a person was breaking into their house b/c they did not knock.

i think because there might have been many embarrassing incidents when the door was opened before knocking.

Good manners and giving people privacy. Probably started with the old "door knockers".

I just assume its a matter of manners and respect. I wouldn't want people just walking into my house
