Well, you captured all the info that the door has to offer, maybe even more than if you compensated as you could blown highlights on
white door or make the black door too dark. When you shoot raw it would not matter.
If you trust your meter blindly, metering either a white or black object and basing the exposure on that reading will result in an exposure error on the order of 3-4 stops.
It doesn't matter what you shoot, you aren't going to fix that sort of exposure error.
