Default Open or opened?

Dear teacher,

I have been trying to find an answer to this doubt of mine. I know the correct form of the adjective is "open ", like in "the door is open". Why do I say it like this and not "the door is opened"? Why do we say "the door is closed" and not "the door is close"? I will appreciate your help.


Thank you very much.
