as for the fitting rooms i think i will settle with this one: 試着室

also regarding the verb 閉まる, will ドアが閉まっていた mean the door is locked, or the door is closed, or can it mean either one of these
First, if I wanted to say the door is closed I would say ドアが閉まっている

Second, I think it could imply either closed or locked, but if I specifically wanted to say the door was locked, I would say 鍵がかかっていた

but that's just me, and I am not a native so you don't have to take my word for it.
