Just prior to the FAF ILS; we lowered the landing gear. Both mains showed down and locked but the nose gear did not. EICAS showed 'gear disagree' and 'gear doors.' We also got a 'gear doors light.' We cycled the gear and got the same indications. We then did a go around; complied with the QRH; called Dispatch and talked to Maintenance Control. I declared an emergency; as a precaution; even though we got the nose gear to finally lock down. We then landed uneventfully.
A B757 nose gear failed to extend; the EICAS alerted GEAR DISAGREE; GEAR DOORS and GEAR DOOR light was illuminated so an emergency was declared; the QRH complied with and normal landing followed.
