uncloseable

Cannot be shut

Something uncloseable cannot be shut or closed.

The word applies literally to doors, windows, or containers that won't close properly: The warped cabinet door was uncloseable.

More often it describes abstract things that resist conclusion or termination—an uncloseable deal, an uncloseable gap, an uncloseable wound that keeps reopening emotionally or literally.
