Moss had the upper hand but Chigurh heard Moss ready the weapon and walked away to turn out the hall lights. Moss didn't realize how Chigurh opens doors. By the time he figured it out, Chigurh had the upper hand and Moss had to jump out the window. Yeah, if he had it to do over again, he'd have blasted through the door as soon as he saw a shadow, but well, he had to set his gun and he didn't anticipate Chigurh would walk away, turn off the lights, come back and he'd get thumped with the deadbolt.
The images of Chigurh hiding behind the door were in Sheriff Bell's mind. When Bell pushed the door open, it went all the way to the wall without resistance. No one was behind the door. If you read the book, it turns out Chigurh was in the parking lot at the time. Bell actually had very good instincts to avoid getting himself killed.
