Okay, so I am making a keycard door, but here’s the thing.
I don’t know whether to use TweenService, CFraming, etc. I need something that would be: fast, efficient, and not very resource consuming.

Honestly, my personal preference is TweenService it’s easy to setup, makes animations smooth with the customization and barely uses any performance or causes FPS / Lag.
What about serverside effects? Won’t it slow things down?
How about you make the door open fully clientsidedly with a remote event
What about other people trying to pass through, if it runs on the clientside?

FireAllClients, this way it wouldn’t be based off server fps but the client’s which would be smoother
From my experience and what I heard no it won’t, But if this is an issue that you worry about you could also tween it locally, use a remote event or some type of listener (BindableEvent?) for the tween and send it to all clients and have each client handle it themselves.
if you’re making a sliding door it’s easiest to use tweenservice, it doesn’t affect preformance and it’s really smooth. However if you’re making a door that uses pivot you should use CFrame. Another huge tip is to use module scripts so that you don’t have to waste time on updating every single door.

Any example of using module scripts?
What’s the difference between a remote and bindable event?
A good explanation I have found previously on the forums was
"
Client script → Another client script: use a Bindable.
Server script → Another server script: use a Bindable.
Client script → Server script: use a Remote.
Server script → Client script: use a Remote."
To answer your question of having a module script I highly highly suggest looking up a video on youtube what are module scripts, It will take you a while to learn! I’m still at beginner level of learning Module scripts but they do indeed save so much time, Imagine a Module Script named “Weapon” then everytime you want to create a new “Gun” you can just reference the Module Script, to start it up example “Damage, Spread, Recoil, Ammo, ReloadTime” I hope that kinda makes sense it’s not the best for me to explain but a video can suffice what you are looking for.
