C'mon. He's living in this! Think of having to put hinges on a round door. It'd be completly unstable if it was big enough for an adult to walk through. You can only put the hinges and latch in one place each.
Look at the great roof, the use of straw. He's done something very nice here.

Nay Nay, Skippy!!! No need for hinges. Simply place a pivot fixture at the top center, and bottom center of the door. You could enter on one side, while someone was exiting on the other. The knob in the center would work also, latching and locking on both sides. Besides, it was meant to accommodate hobbits, not adult humans—(except Gandalf,of course ;’)
