<p>As far as I have seen, personally, I see 入口 used as a noun, and 进 used as a verb.</p>

<p>Both seems to mean "to enter".   I had a feeling that the  入 is more "to put into" while the 进 is "to enter" ? But I also saw the "entrence" using 入.</p>

他可以“进” 而不“入”。  入 means he will be in (a room, etc), while 进 is an action or trial only (he try to enter but there are possiblity something/somebody blocks him).  just like you "look to" east but  "see" nothing.
