Under the Options for GDL Objects header you can uncheck the boxes to show the opening lines.
This method is global and will remove all door or window opening lines.

If you have ArchiCAD 14 you can turn the opening lines off for individual doors/windows in the object's settings.

What if I need to turn off the opening line from one of the door leaf?

Disable the opening lines in the door settings as shown here.  Note that this permanently eliminates the opening lines in all views:

If I have a double garden door. I need to show that one side opens and another side is not. If I disable opening lines, it disables it for both leaves. I need to keep it for one leaf and disable it for the other leaf.

Unless there is an option in the object to make one of the leafs fixed (I doubt there will be - the idea of a double door object is that it will have 2 opening doors), you will have to resort to white lines to cover the door swing lines.

Or turn them all off and draw in the ones you want.
