Not sure. In one telling of the story the Gates of the Morannon are made by the Men of the West, and I don't think that they would have invested precious mithril into this gate. The Gate for Minas Tirith contained mithril, but from my reading it was more decoration than function. After King Elessar becomes King, the Gate is newly wrought with mithril (I'd use it in the hinges ).

Anyway, in PJ's Black Gate, we have a troll team used to open it. Would Sauron, who coveted mithril, used this precious metal for something so base as a door handle?
