i'm pretty sure it's ひらく, as ひらく can be transitive, whereas あく is generally not. (also, search for もんこをひらく on yahoo and you'll get results, search for もんこをあく and you'll get nothing).  the existing entry for ひらく is just not broad enough.  rejecting rather than deleting (which would remove the word from the dictionary altogether)

Now that you put it that way I am not sure... but I don't understand it either. 
Move to delete change.

  Comments:
If the metaphor is to "open the door", then the reading is:
開く あく (v5k,vi) (1) to open; to become open; to become empty
   and not
開く ひらく (v5k,vt) to open (e.g., a bank-account, festival, etc.)
