What shape and proportion should the main door have?
It should always be rectangular, with a full chaukhat of four pieces of wood; a three-piece frame does not give the same results even on N4. Its height should be twice its width, for example 7 feet high for a 3.5-foot width, so do not run doors up to the full height of the room as some new buildings do. Where the 1:2 ratio cannot be kept, calculate the aay (length x width divided by 8; the remainder is the aay) and make a door of 1 or 3 aay. Avoid triangular doors (trouble for women), shakat doors (trouble for the family head), supa and sun-shaped doors (loss of money), bow-shaped doors (family disputes) and round doors (trouble for children, more girls born).

My main door is in the South; how should it be treated?
In interior vastu a wrong door is treated only with symbols and similar items, since the full door treatment alone would take about five classes. For South door defects the class gives bandhanwars of stone or gems, a toran of copper and wood, and a red triangular swastik bandhanwar hung on a Saturday or Tuesday. In the South only S4 is a good pada, and it suits those with Kark, Makar or Kanya rashi, mulank 9, or an exalted or own-sign Mars.
Our small house has an iron door outside and a wooden door inside. Which is the main door, and what if the inner door is on a wrong pada?
The wooden door is the main door. Iron is acceptable in the West, and an iron door in the boundary wall is acceptable. If the inner main door is on an unfavourable pada, correct it with the direction-wise bandhanwars and symbols taught in this class plus some door power. Moving it to S4 suits only if the male head of the house has Kark, Makar or Kanya rashi, because Vedic vastu judges this from the male head of the house alone, not from anyone else such as the wife.
Should the main door's chaukhat, the dehleez, be slightly higher than floor level?
Yes, it must be higher than the floor; only then can it stop the energy. It should be made of wood in particular.
Temple door frames are of stone, and stone chaukhats are now common in homes. Should a home use stone or wood?
It depends on the nature the occupants need. Those who must keep firmness, such as kings and military people, use stone, while wood always represents softness, so those who want a gentle nature use wood. The door and its frame shape the nature of the people: if you need to become tough, make the dehleez of hard stone.
The main door picture marked the lower lip but not the upper lip. Where is it?
A frame cannot exist without its upper wood, since it would not stand. The top wood of the frame is the upper lip and the dehleez is the lower lip.
What results do flush, plywood, fiber and glass main doors give?
The main door should be only of wood, best of teak, and royal doors were of sandalwood or had a little sandalwood mixed in. Flush doors are made from plywood of thorny shrubs, so even a house costing crores with a cheap flush main door does not get good results, because energy takes on the chemistry of the material it passes through. A sandalwood Om or Swastik pasted on the door also gives very good results.
