κρούσαντος & αὐτοῦ
/having/_knocked & ˱of˲_him
To “knock” at a door means to tap or hit it a few times to let a person inside the house know you are standing outside. You could translate this expression with the way people in your culture show that they have arrived at a house, such as “call out” or “cough” or “clap.”

τὴν θύραν τοῦ πυλῶνος
the door ˱of˲_the gate
Here, the word gate probably describes an entrance from the street to a courtyard in front of the house. If houses in your culture have a similar entrance, in your translation you could use the name for it in your language. If not, you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “the door of the entrance from the street to the courtyard”
