For me to

Didn't you see what was going on inside the room?
1-The door wasn't open for me to see what was going on inside the room.
2-The door wasn't open so that I could see what was going on inside the room.

3-They did not open the door for me to see what was going on inside the room.
4-They did not open the door sp that I could see what was going on inside the room.


Are sentences 1, 2, 3 and 4 correct in this context? They are all supposed to be replies to the original questions (Didn't you see what was going on inside the room?)

They are supposed to mean:
The door was not open/they did not open the door and therefore I couldn't see what was going on inside the room.

Gratefully,

None of them seems possible: they are all rather unnatural constructions. The door wasn't open / They didn't open the door, so I couldn't see what was going on inside the room.
