Incanting mystic words of "Whatzi whozi whatzit" Tommary discovers that this door is just part of a magic item.
It is a DERP. When both doors of a DERP are placed on solid surfaces and the command phrase is spoken, you can open one door and come out the other as long as both doors are on the same plane of existence.
Ilyara watches the ritual and nods. Yup, that's magic.

"Sooner or later, your Players are going to smash your railroad into a sandbox."

"real life is a super high CR."
-OboeLauren
"............anybody got any potatoes? We could drop a potato in each hole an' see which ones get viciously mauled by horrible monsters?"
Tommary the Unworthy stands up and turns to address the party. "This is not a DOOR to perceive, it's a DERP to transition! I think the rune's say HerpDERP, which may be the door that commands it to open offering us transit to another place, a place of our world, maybe even the reactor port to this mountain, but I can not guarantee the door guarantees any wishes. That said, I'm thinking it may be a more worthwhile course to all of us than just heading back to Cliffside with all the hegemon's stuff and having to give it back to them and all. Wait, did I just open the door when I said the presumed magic words?" Tommary the Unworthy looks over his shoulder back to the door on the floor.
There is the door you pulled open and another door with a push panel on it. Yes.
OOC: And they lead to each other? Are they portable?
OOC: Yes. Two doors can be moved from place to place and each door can be opened to the other. They just have to be placed on a solid surface and have the words spoken.

OOC: So it’s another magic item, but not another way to go from here?

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC: I believe what Wysp is saying is we've found one half of the gateway. One of the two linked doors, which we have yet to open. And if not, well:
IC:
"Wonder if this one goes anywhere else, or if we're just sitting here sweatin' like a sauna for a couple'a random treasures. Hn."
After a brief scan for Shenanigans {Invest: 12) and presuming none are in evidence, Ilyara reaches out to hit the push panel on the uncovered door to see if it opens. With her other hand hovering over both Rilia and Rod, just in case.

After a brief scan for Shenanigans {Invest: 4) and presuming none are in evidence, Ilyara reaches out to hit the push panel on the uncovered door to see if it opens. With her other hand hovering over both Rilia and Rod, just in case.
Ilyara finds nothing at all wrong with the door and gives it nudge.
It swings open easily.

The party feels a luxurious gust of cool air which feels frigid, but welcome compared to the blast furnace heat of the lava chamber. The breeze is clean and has overtones of citrus flowers. You are made aware again of how much you smell like a dank swampy sewer but the hours spent in the mountain have dulled your senses to it.
Bright sunlight also filters in with the sound of birdsong and maybe the splash of a fountain in the distance. Looking into the doorway, you see a study or library with wide windows framed with vines and vibrant flowers. A cluttered desk faces the window and a tall thin figure dressed in red robes sits at it scratching on parchment.
The view is a bit skewed as it is aligned as if the door was proper placed.

Tommary the Unworthy first will wrack his brain of esoterica to see if he may be able to decipher a magic word in the runes, arcana 10
Failing that, he'll scour the door for anything else that may be etched in to clue a gatecrasher to the opensezme utterance. Perception 16

The words "Herp DERP" come to mind.

Tommary is afterall, the Keymaster.

The ground swirls, the rocky surface dissolves, and you now see a matching door in the floor.

That... may be digging too deeply into Tommary the Unworthy's backstory.
