Allegedly word order is not as strict in Russian as in languages without grammatical cases, but there always seems to be a reason why some particular word order has to be used (unless it happens to be in some rare particular context). As a result word order in my own language (Dutch) looks more flexible to me than in Russian.

Yeah, it's just the way it is but definitely some false advertising going on by people that write articles about why Russian isn't quite as difficult as you think!

I think "На двери нет фамилии." should be accepted when the task is to write the russian sentence when the english one is given.
Usually, one expects family names written on doors, not first names.
