I've never had a door close on me if I personally flipped the switches at the weapons station.
The tubes still close on me... For instance:

Let's say I currently have tube 2 selected, and I manually open tubes 1 through 5 with the WE switches. If I hit the 'Y' button (cycle torpedo tube), then tube 2 will close on me.

The workaround is simple though... After opening the tubes, don't change tubes or alter torpedo settings unless you have already fired the torpedo.

And here's an even simpler check: slow down and take half-a-second to look at the tube switches before you fire -- make sure that they are open... I guarantee that losing half-a-second is much better than losing a whole torpedo.
