How do I detect collision between the player and the static mesh without making a trigger BoxComponent?

If i have a static mesh and I want to detect a collision between the static mesh and the character, how do I do it without making a trigger box (UBoxComponent) that surrounds the mesh ?

I’ve tried this so far and it does not seem to fire the collision event

UStaticMeshComponent* SM_Door;

.....

SM_Door->bGenerateOverlapEvents = true;
SM_Door->OnComponentBeginOverlap.AddDynamic(this, &ADoor::BeginDoorCollision);
SM_Door->OnComponentEndOverlap.AddDynamic(this, &ADoor::EndDoorCollision);

void ADoor::BeginDoorCollision(class UPrimitiveComponent* HitComp, class AActor* OtherActor, class UPrimitiveComponent* OtherComp, int32 OtherBodyIndex, bool FromSweep, const FHitResult& SweepResult)
{
    // print if any collision has occured 
    ....
}

To be clear, I want to detect collision between the collision box of the static mesh and the capsule component of the player character. Is this even possible ?
