AITA for not punishing my son for doing what teen boys do?

I’ll try to make this short.. my wife and I (32M&33F) have a 14 year old son. (We had him young) Last night my wife went to my sons room to ask him to sign a mothers day card for his grandma. She has a bad habit of not knocking and when she walked in on my son spanking the monkey. There was screaming and yelling and I came up to my wife angry and telling me to handle him.
I went in and talked to my son, I just said that I get it, it’s a normal thing to do, nearly everyone has done it and that I would talk to his mom. When I went back downstairs my wife asked what I did and assumed I gave some kind of punishment, I asked her what exactly would I be punishing him for and she got upset with me saying I’m encouraging sexual behavior and he needs his door taken off. I said that he’s a teenager and he deserves at least some privacy and that walking in on him without knocking should’ve stopped a long time ago. Today she’s upset he doesn’t want to come out of his room but I can’t say I blame him. Did I mess up by not backing her up?
Edit
I didn’t expect all of this feedback so soon but thank you everyone. I ABSOLUTELY was NOT going to take my sons door off and I do agree about the lock, but more than that I am angrier with my wife than I let on in the post.
