The Renaissance metalworker who designed the doors for the Baptistry was Lorenzo Ghiberti. He was also a well-known architect and forged the doors from bronze.
Ghiberti worked on his first set of doors 1403 - 1424 and the second (La Porta del Paradiso) 1425 - 1452. Since there was a set of doors by Andrea Pisano, finished in 1336, the ones by Ghiberti were the second and the third sets, thus enriching the Baptistry with beautifully sculpted doors in all the doorways.
Filippo Brunelleschi did, well, he came in second after Lorenzo Ghiberti.

I'd sure like to know, I like Brunellleschis better!
Yes, during the Italian Renaissance contests were held to determine who would win a specific commission. An example is a competition held to see who would earn the commission to create the east doors of the Baptistry of Florence. Lorenzo Ghiberti (1378-1455) won the competition.
I suppose you are talking about Florence without saying so. The last set of panels for the Baptistry doors, the Doors of Paradise, are the most valuable ones. They have recently been exchanged for copies and the originals are displayed in the museum "Opera del Duomo", where they are well guarded. An extra bonus is that visitors can watch them at close range there.

Yes- but not easily. Blast doors are designed to remain in place under the pressure generated in an explosion. Up to a point. When explosives generate more pressure than the door was designed to resist, the door loses. Bear in mind that SOME blast doors are disigned to protect against the detonation of a nuclear weapon.
