Also, considering it was a tight squeeze for the Gemini suit, it must

The "tight squeeze" wasn't getting through the hatch, it was shutting
the hatch "on" an astronaut in the seat with an inflated suit. This
is not applicable to Skylab with the volume of the airlock. The hatch
opening was large enough for either suit type to pass through.
