What exactly do you mean? It would be anachronistic if it was corrupted.
I think Gandalf mentioned that all he had to do was push it open from the inside on his east-west Moria quest.

First of, the Cirth (runes) are used differently in Erebor and Moria, but I got some nice sources to refer to. It's a hard thing fitting readable runes onto 16 x 16 pixel textures, at least if you want to put more than two runes per block. And of course, with the randomization it's hard to put words on the blocks that make sense in every combination.
As far as I remember from the World Painting session we had with credoo it has a circumference of 600 blocks. As comparison: Minas Tirith has a circumference of 400 blocks.
Those caves were just transformed into the halls of Moria, I would think.
True, but you would think that most of the mines would have some dwellings of a sort nearby, considering the distance to the city from the deeper mines.
I see where you're coming from since working with metals is an important part of dwarven culture. However I don't think it's realistic for every home to have a forge. Part of this is because, even though smithing is so integral, a home is still a home, not a workplace. Sure, you can have a little room where you tinker with stuff, but a smithy takes up more room. Also, not every dwarf is a smith.
