Harry never shut the door that time, though.  I don't think it works
until the door is shut...

COS, p.30, chapter four
"Harry looked quickly around and spotted a large black cabinet to his
left; he shot inside it and pulled the doors closed, leaving a small
crack to peer through.  Seconds later, a bell clanged, and Malfoy
stepped into the shop."
