"If love is an open door, why is the door closed on Hans at the end of the story?"

Because it was he who closed it. He would rather see the woman who loved him die in a painful, horrible manner, alone and in the cold, than miss out on the opportunity to acquire power.

He was willing to murder Elsa in cold blood after breaking her spirit.

Don't forget that by his own words (not "confession", because it implies penance), his purpose in going to Arendelle was seducing the queen into marriage SO THAT HE COULD KILL HER and take the throne for himself.

His evil is not a mere "lapse of judgement"; it is ingrained into his personality.

Feel pity for him, hope he redeems himself, but don't ask that Elsa be sullied by such an unworthy, cold-blooded jerk.

BTW> He is NOTHING like the Beast; Adam was selfish and self-absorbed, but in his heart, we was just lonely; it took Belle's love and kindness to bring out his own love. He felt it as soon as he met her.

Hans, on the other hand, had Anna's complete devotion... and spurned it. His gloating was needlessly hurtful... and he seemed to derive pleasure from it.

Elsa was NOT a villain or even villanous; she was perceived as a villain in-story, but she chose exile over hurting others. She wants to love and be loved... and Hans in INCAPABLE of loving anyone but himself.
