The door is in terrible condition, but it won't fall apart simply by opening it... it will just be very easy to destroy it, if necessary.
And indeed, it might prove necessary, because Roxana realizes that turning the handle isn't enough to open it. The door must have been locked some time ago, when it was perhaps in a position to effectively prevent intruders.
Roxana hesitates, realizing brute force is not her strength. She pulls out her Thieves' Tools and sees if she can unlock the door. (Dex Check - Thieves' Tools: 23)
Roxana's manual dexterity more than makes up for her lack of brute strength, and the rusty lock, likely for the first time in centuries, clicks as if the key had been turned inside it.
Now the door can be opened, and the overall view confirms what the Shadow Archer had already observed while peering in: the furniture has long since rotted beyond recognition. Chains for binding prisoners remain, fixed to the north wall at various heights. A pile of gold coins gleams inside, apparently scattered carelessly on the floor.
