An apparatus for opening and closing a door of a container apparatus of a vehicle can include a single knob, a shaft, a fixed member, a shaft biasing spring, an arm, and a cam. The shaft is movable in an axial direction of the shaft and rotatable about an axis of the shaft. The shaft has a radially extending portion. The shaft has first, second, and third rotational positions. The third rotational position is offset by 180 degrees from the first rotational position. The arm has an opening side arm corresponding to the first rotational position and a closing side arm corresponding to the third rotational position. A cam driving protrusion for rotating the cam is provided to at least one of the opening side arm and the closing side arm. A support member may be coupled to the arm. The support member includes an opening side support member and a closing side support member. Each of the opening side support member and the closing side support member has a recess formed therein for preventing the radially extending portion from interfering with the opening side support member or the closing side support member when the shaft rotates from the second rotational position to the third rotational position.
