There is hx of mild-mod ocd in fam. my 2yr old always shuts doors &has to shut playhouse door at night. should i let him or is that reinforcing it?

YES: at this age, I would not try to extinguish any behavior that is not interfering with your child's ability to learn or function. I would focus on teaching him self calming strategies. He's too young to attempt any sort of cognitive behavioral therapy.
