OK, so you've got a sloped wall, but you want the door to "swing" open and closed, just like it was strictly vertical right? You don't need bones for this, but what I'd suggest is that you start out with a vertical wall and a vertical door in Object mode, parent the wall to the door, and slope the wall to your liking in Scene mode. That way, the axis of the door hinges will be "local" to the door itself. With the door parented to the wall, you can move and/or slope the wall however you like and the door will "follow it."
