Answer #1

Go up to one of them (I will call him Fred to tell them apart). It doesn’t matter which one, and ask him, “Fred, if I were to ask the OTHER guy what is behind THIS door (Fred’s door), what would he say?” Then based on Fred’s answer, go into the door to hell.

This still holds if the liar is in front of heaven’s door and the truth teller is in front of hell’s door.

If Fred is a liar then not-Fred’s answer of “Hell” will be changed to “Heaven”. If Fred is truthful, (and his door goes to heaven) then not-Fred would lie and say, “Hell” which Fred would truthfully report.

So in either case go to the door which seemed, from your question, to be Hell.
