Are these phrasal verbs?

(1) He pushed open the door.
(2) He pushed the door open.

Are the two ‘pushed open’ phrasal verbs and have ‘the door’ as their objects?

No 'push open' would not be classified as a phrasal verb. However, as with a phrasal verb, both forms of word order are possible.

'Open' here functions as a predicate adjective, denoting the final state of the subject upon completion of the verb.

Thank you very much philo2009.

A phrasal verb has to have a verb and a preposition. For example, "to push up" is a phrasal verb.

No necessarily. If you push a cart up a hill, you are simply using a verb and a preposition.
