This is an insane trick to me. Until a setup is found. You may be able to feel out close to the right frame with practice, but retrying is so slow.

Ive been testing ice clip doorlock skips and found that this is only possible with X-Ray+Morph (precise clip and high pixel clip are not possible). The freeze is frame perfect and requires Gravity or HiJump to clip through.
