You'll need to parent that as prop_dynamic to an invisible func_door_rotating brush, preferably the same size as the door prop. Make sure its "Delay Before Reset" is -1 and that the "Touch to Open" flag is unchecked so it stays in whatever state you want it in.
Then, assuming this is going to work like a startup gate, you use a team_round_timer's OnSetupFinished output to fire the door's Open input.

Actually, prop_door_rotating exists for the purpose of rotating prop doors.

1) Find your door's prop_dynamic and press Alt-Enter
2) Look for a "Parent" parameter in the list and click the drop-down menu
3) From the list of names of entities, select the func_door_rotating's name (give the func_door_rotating a name if you haven't already done so),
4) Hit Apply and your prop_dynamic and func_door_rotating are now parented

no... make the door a prop_door_rotating and then you can set it up like a regular door.

As ABS said,
- Use the entity tool to create a prop_door_rotating
- Set its model to that door
- Give it a name like "door_startup1_red" or whatever
- Move its center (a moveable circle/ball in the views) to the "hinge", this is will be the center of rotation
- Set its "Delay before reset" to -1
- Uncheck "Use Closes" from the Flags tab.
- Use the entity tool to place a team_round_timer anywhere in the map. Set its values up to include a Setup time.
- Go to the Output tab, and Add an output "OnSetupFinished", Target: "door_startup1_red" or whatever you named it, and set "Via this Input" to Open.

so i have to delete the prop_static (door) i have right now and create an entity with the same model?
Edit: Oh i see alright kk thnx guys if i have anymore questions ill edit this again
PROBLEM!: how do i make the hinge... its circle is where i want it but which axis is it on...?i want it Z of course Also what values should i use for the setup timer...im confuzzled

By default things rotate in the Z axis, you need to set one of the flags to make it rotate another way. You should explore tabs and try things more
I had a issue with using func_door_rotating, and so found this thread. I tried using prop_door_rotating instead.
Perhaps I have missed something.
Prop_door_rotating has the "Hinge Axis" property, with two coordinates as a value to set the Hinge axis. No matter where I set these two coordinates, using the helper, the door always rotates along the prop's center, in Z axis. Possibly a bug. I've been trying to set for Y axis. There is no flag for this to check for this entity. I must use func_door_rotating of there is no solution for this.
