Hell Martin. There are some Youtube videos that show people doing this to get a better idea. But here is what I do to get them to open up. Remember you can't offer or find out anything unless they want to talk to you. 

- Knock politely or ring the doorbell (not both) 

- Take a few steps away from the door or off the porch

- Stay facing the door. Smiling with your hands visible 

- No matter how they greet you introduce yourself in a friendly tone and start with small talk. (How are you doing today? It's crazy hot out here isn't it?) 

- Then start with your script. Everyones will be different and different house will require improv and quick thinking. You will get better at this with time. 

Good luck!!
