The 'secret' to opening exits is in using the proper sequence. With the default key assignments that sequence is:
Press (Shift+E) and then release both keys. Now press the 1 key (the 1 on the keyboard, not on the Numpad). Door #1 should open. The same key sequence closes the door.... Note (Shift+E) alone will also open/close door #1.
For other doors, use the same sequence but with key 2, 3 or 4.
Example: on the default A321, (Shift+E) will open the main passanger door. (Shift+E) then 2 will open the cargo doors. (Shift+E) then 3 opens all other doors.
You can open multiple exits at once using (Shift+E) then 1,2,3,4.
Not all aircraft are created equal. Some may only have 1 or 2 doors modeled so they open. Others may use other key sequences such as wingfold or water-rudder. You'll have to check the docs that came with the aircraft, and if it uses alternate keypresses you have to make sure those are properly assigned in Settings>Controls>Buttons & Keys.

Scott, make or change key assignments in Settings>Controls>Buttons & Keys tab.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
