Comment: I felt the 2nd gloss isn't quite right, and wrote this def after looking at examples in TP.

無奈台灣受困於特殊的政治外交處境,往往被這些組織排拒在外,不得其門而入。
Frustratingly, owing to its special diplomatic circumstances, Taiwan is excluded by all these organizations.

「高科技產業是用專業技術和龐大資金堆出來的,能夠跨進這個領域來分一杯羹的人不會很多;這和大家都可以『矇賺一點』的傳統勞力密集產業完全不同。」結果是那些從鞋廠、成衣廠、燈具廠關廠後流落出來的勞工,來到這裡依舊不得其門而入。
"High-tech industries are built on specialized technology and huge capital investments. Barriers to entry are high, so not many people can get a slice of the cake. It's not at all like the traditional labor-intensive industries, where everyone could get a piece of the action." Hence all those workers who were let go when the shoe factories, garment factories and lamp factories closed down find no openings here.

朱建正指出,長期以來,數學老師都像「佛」一樣,站在彼岸,讓孩子回去揣摩,除了少數天生會數學的孩子揣摩的通,多數孩子都不得其門而入。
Chu says that math teachers have long been like the "Buddha," sitting serenely above the crowd, letting students grope their way to enlightenment as best they can. Except for those few students with a knack for math, most never get anywhere.

If we had been able to get into all the rooms we had targeted, we might have found something.

對許多想認識新詩卻總覺不得其門而入的讀者,
For many readers who wish to get to know modern poetry but find it difficult to get an entree into this field,

事實上,這間日式民宅之前就被民眾檢舉,那次是屋主將庭內多株樹高十五公尺、約五層樓以上的老樹腰斬成只有一層樓高,文化局獲報後欲前往了解,卻不得其門而入,只得發文於該屋主,要求讓相關單位人員進入會勘。
Actually, the authorities had received complaints about this residence before. The owner had cut several old trees from a height of 15 meters, or approximately five stories high, to only one story high. Upon hearing these reports, the Department of Cultural Affairs went to investigate but could not enter, and could only issue a letter to the owner of the house requesting that he grant permission to the proper authorities to enter the property and inspect it.
