As with the Thomas the Tank Engine example in the last couple of emails, hard to say, especially since there's no canon that would help us. I think the closet would consider its own doors to be its {lojmItDu'}, but whether others would also call them that, no idea.
I think it would be understandable but excessively cute. I'd have a hard time bringing myself to do it, except perhaps in the context of the closet coming to me for help rIQmo' lojmItDu'Daj. It would still be a little mindbending, a bit like "injured furniture" in English. It's damaged, not injured, whether it talks or not.
