If you've knocked a doorway through a wall you would need more than just a bit of concrete to fill above the door. You need a lintel to take the load. Doing such work is not something for the weekend DIYer. If the doorway was in a non-loadbearing wall then you can get away with just plasterboard covering any hole.
