Why does this debounce SOMETIMES break this door?

Question

I had put in a debounce feature into the door to prevent the Sound being spammed when the door "opens" (the door opens with a card tool- when players move their character from side to side with the card in their hand it spams the sound so I had used debounce as a cooldown)

However, after putting the debounce in, it only SOMETIMES works - sometimes it works perfectly, other times it acts completely broken and refuses to register. It will also happen in the same instance of playing - so I can open the door no problems, try to open it again 10 seconds later and it's just completely broken and refuses to work. Sometimes it will work up to 5 times before it breaks. Sometimes it just doesn't even work once.

Here is the script, I would love to hear what you guys think is the issue. It works perfectly without the debounce in there (well, you can still spam the sound which is not good, but at least it opens consistently every time)

Thank you so much!
