English term or phrase: ..had not been cracked in many years...
Hallo! Ein Auftraggeber sagt mir, die Formulierung im folgenden Satz sei US-Slang. Kann das jemand bestätigen? Und - ist die Türe nun kaputt oder nicht?

wood door that had not been cracked in many years. Through the door,
I could only feel the damp, dark surroundings that made up the room we
entered.
