New Need Help with Open Door Script

I've been over this several times and still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I have a simple model and am trying to execute the open/close door script by Will Goldstone.

I imported an animated door with 3 keyframes from max. I checked split animations and defined the idle, opendoor and closedoor start and end frames. I then attached the script to the First Person Controller. When I walk up to the door it is already slightly open and the animation doesn't play when I'm next to it. This is the script I'm using. The only thing I changed was the tag names. Any help is appreciated. I'm not very good at coding, but I usually can follow along with tutorials. Not sure where this is going wrong. Thanks.

Code (csharp):

1. var doorOpened : boolean = false;
2. var doorAudio : AudioClip;
3. var doorShut : AudioClip;
4. var timer : float = 0.0;
5.  
6. function OnControllerColliderHit(hit:ControllerColliderHit){
7.    
8.     if((hit.gameObject.tag == "housedoor")  (doorOpened == false)){
9.         openDoor();
10.     }  
11.    
12. }
13.  
14.  
15. function Update(){
16.    
17.     if(doorOpened){
18.         timer += Time.deltaTime;
19.     }
20.    
21.     if(timer >= 5){
22.         shutDoor();
23.     }
24. }
25.  
26. function shutDoor(){
27.  
28.     var theHouse = gameObject.FindWithTag("house");
29.     theHouse.animation.Play("doorclose");
30.     doorOpened = false;
31.     audio.PlayOneShot(doorShut);   
32.     timer = 0;
33. }
34.  
35.  
36. function openDoor(){
37.    
38.         doorOpened = true;
39.         var theHouse = gameObject.FindWithTag("house");
40.         theHouse.animation.Play("dooropen");
41.         audio.PlayOneShot(doorAudio);  
42.        
43. }
