[General sci-fi] Why does shooting the door control panel always do exactly what you want it to do?

Sometimes when the door is closed and you shoot the panel, it opens.  Sometimes when it's open and you shoot it, it closes.  Sometimes when you shoot the panel and the door is closed, it stays sealed closed.  The only difference is what the person shooting the panel wants the door to do.  Why does shooting the control panel always work?

This theory doesn't work on spaceships because you would want them to be air-tight in case of a hole somewhere. But what if the default setting was door open in case of a power failure. You would want people to be able to get out of a building. So shoot the lock, power is disconnected and the door opens.
