I would suspect one of the mounting screws/bolts has pierced an electrical cable. Lighting that bulb means it's a lot more than a static buildup. At the very least a cable going to earth ground would solve the problem and probably pop the breaker to the line it's connected to. If the door is being capacitively charged through proximity to a strong source, he has more problems than the door.

I think you guys are missing the point… If the door isn’t wired, that means there’s some unidentified source of power creating a current through the door.
They seem to be talking about something like this:

I wonder what the source of the power is.
