Use thin areaportal brushes in doorways. They will hide all of your map behind the door if the following conditions apply:
- Your map doesn't have leaks.
- Both areas are completely sealed by either structural brushes or other areaportalled-doors. This means you can only use areaportals in few occasions.
Hope this helps - don't forget to get back to me if I'm not clear
