The doors are kept locked on the 75ft cars because of the way the cars behave on curves. It makes a very dangerous and unsafe condition where the door vestibules are spaced far enough apaart that there ia a slip and crush hazard when tyrying to cross cars. The R-44 n R-46 cars supposedly had interlocks tha actually locke all the door as the train took a curve.
