There is not a single console command in the game which disables achievements, i tried, with pretty much every command possible with every spare one i had left just to test it.

Can you describe what is happening in game?
(Door doesn't open after entering symbols and using dragon claw)
(Cannot interact with door)

I believe it is just been a couple of years since Bleak Falls broke. I created a new toon; twice; and once at the door and you turn the stones to the correct order; the door does NOT open; thus the quest is broken. Since I downloaded the anniversary game.

Very true. However we should still be very careful when using console commands, especially if we don't know what we are doing because if not used properly they can bork your game. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I'm assuming you have the golden dragon claw from Arvel the Swift (the guy caught in the frost spider's web).

Puzzle doors failing to open after the correct symbols are set (FYI the symbols are on the dragon claw hilt) and using the claw on the center circle is generally a physics issue. In addition, puzzle doors or other quest queues that failing to trigger can be attributed to either a mod issue or a physics issue.

For non-modded Skyrim players, I find that for the most part people are too impatient and rush through dialog or quest locations which can bypass quest queues rendering them unable to complete. Take your time, slow down a bit. Allow things to trigger naturally.

A great example of this is the Daedric quest "Ill Met by Moonlight." After speaking to Sinding in the Falkreath jail and taking possession of the ring, you have to wait for Sinding to transform and escape for the quest to continue. Many players just run out of the room which can break the quest.
