 Watcher in the Water - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Watcher in the Water in J.R.R. Tolkien's universe of Middle-earth is a mysterious and horrific beast that lurked in a lake caused by the damming of the Sirannon river, beneath the western walls of Moria.
In Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, the Watcher attacks the Fellowship as they were attempting to open the Doors of Durin and enter Moria.
Many other tentacles emerged from the water after the one which grasped Frodo was driven away, but it is not totally clear whether these were all part of the same multi-armed beast, or a number of monsters acting together.

 The Grey Havens - Dwarves: The Doors of Durin, Lord of Moria   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The Doors of Durin were the western entrance to Hadhodrond or Khazad- d(o)m, later called Moria.
After the Doors were made, they stood open for many years as the Dwarves of Khazad-d(o)m and Celebrimbor's people engaged in trade and various projects to their mutual benefit.
The Doors are not mentioned again in history until the time of the Fellowship, although they must have been opened and closed many times by Durin's folk before the Balrog came in 1980 Third Age.

In J.R.R. Tolkien 's fictional universe of Middle-earth, The Doors of Durin were created in the dark cliffsof Moria, in the cooperation of the Elves and theDwarves before Sauron 's dominance in Middle-earth.
In these times, they stood open andwere guarded by a doorwarden, allowing free and friendly trade between the Elves and the Dwarves; but by the Third Age they hadbeen closed on the world; unable to be found if their secret is forgotten.
When the moon is out in full, fine silver lines appear, outlining the secret door.The designs on the arch include a hammer and an anvil (the emblems of Durin); a crown and seven stars; two trees surmounted bycrescent moons; and a single star (the Star of the House of Feanor).

His exploration of openings, and especially doors, gates, and windows exists not only as a central framing motif within his written works, but is something he contemplated outside Middle Earth through his sketches.
While Tolkien uses actual doors, gates, and windows to frame a character’s transition from one experience to another or from one psychological state to another, he also uses them as natural passing points or elements to indicate crossing the threshold into another realm of existence.
Most major passage-points, whether constructed doors and gates or transitional boundaries, are framed by a threshold of water—a river, a marsh, or a lake as at Laketown, Brandywine, The Elvenking’s in Mirkwood, Rivendell, The Anduin, the Midgewater Marshes, the Dead Marshes, and others.

 The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - The door of durin.
The doors were written in elvish because the western door was the one mostly used by the elves of Hollin when the dwarves and elves were friendly.
Also, I think most of the time, the door was open, as a point is made when the war of the elves and Sauron is described in I think the Silmarillion, it says specifically that the doors of Moria were shut, (I don't know the exact quote).
As to why the name Moria was on the door since it was a derogatory term meaning fl pit which it wasn't during its height, Gandalf could have paraphrased it, using the more common term at the time, Moria instead of Dwarrowdelf.

The symbolism in question appears on the door to the dwarven caverns of Moria, a gateway that initially blocks the progress of the beleagured Fellowship.
The 'Star of the House of Feanor', however, may be analagous with Sirius if we compare the Door of Durin and the Freemasonic Royal Arch.
This symbolism is very powerful, and the Door of Durin might therefore be seen as one of Initiation.
