There is no Knock spell in IWD2. IMHO, rogues are excellent party members, but in my estimation a rogue character(a character that is supposed to do mainly what the rogue does) is best multiclassed with wizard or sorcerer. DO NOT MULTI WITH CLERIC - you loose backstab with dull weapons.
A fighter-rogue is not a bad idea, but a fighter is the character that carries the heavier armors, so it's not what I'd opt for. A rogue-monk can have excellent feats like cleave, envenom and hamstring. Wears no armor, and needs both dex and wis. Leave strenght and constitution on 12, leave charisma and intelligence on 10 and chreate a rogue with 14 wis, 16 dex. Start as rogue, multi into monk at level 3 or 4, then after 2 levels of monk take two of rogue.
