Correct would be this: Do you mind if I ask you to open the door?
... both verbs in present tense, please!

1. Do you mind if I ask you to open the door?
2. Do you mind if I asked you to open the door?
------------------------
#1 is correct. How about #2? Can we use 'asked'? •English - Writeacher, Friday, September 30, 2016 at 7:13am
You can use either, but the tense in 2 is off. #1 is better.

Thank you for your help.
3. Do you mind if I asked you to open the door?
4. Would you mind if I asked you to open the door?
(#4 is grammatical, isn't it? In writing, if a person writes as in #3, isn't it incorrect?) •English - Ms. Sue, Monday, October 10, 2016 at 5:31pm
Both are correct, but not used much.

Thank you for your help.
Shouldn't we use 'ask,' the present tense in school grammar? Do you mean both are ok,'ask' and 'asked'?
3-1. Do you mind if I ask/asked you to open the door?
