700/900 have nose doors mechanically linked to the gear: Gear down = door open.

200 has hydraulic doors which open automatically during gear operation, and then close automatically after the gear is up or down. These doors are normally closed on the ground, but can be opened for Mx or pre-flight purposes.

If you need to know how to operate them, your airline will tell you.
