Do these pada results apply to the boundary wall door, the main door or every door of the house?
There are three types of doors: the boundary wall door (for example the entrance of a multi-storey building or the gate of a bungalow), the main door through which you enter your own home, and room doors such as the kitchen or bedroom door. The interpretation applies mainly to the main door. The boundary wall door also plays a role, but much less, because even after entering the gate you cannot get into the house if the main door is locked.

Can yellow mustard and gomti chakra be put at a South-West main boundary gate?
Yes, it will benefit. These two items are not limited to any direction and can be used anywhere. Put the yellow mustard in properly dug pits, because if it meets moisture and sprouts it does no good. The specific South-West gate remedy is taught separately.
Do the main door rules apply to the outer boundary gate too?
The boundary gate carries only about 10 percent weight. The door through which you enter the house itself is the main door; the outer one is just the boundary-wall gate.
If the main door and boundary gate face each other but fall on different pads, is it still good?
Yes, if the offset is within one pad (11.25 degrees). For example, a gate on N4 with a main door spread over N4 and N5, mostly in N4, or a main door on N4 with the gate on the N4-N5 junction, still counts as utsang (sammukh) dwar.
If the main door is on a negative pad, does a clockwise or anti-clockwise route to the boundary gate change its results?
Yes. A correctly placed door with an anti-clockwise (heen bahu) exit gives fewer good results than it should. A door on a negative pad such as E5 or E6, whose route runs clockwise to a gate on W4 or W5, gives much less negative effect than the pad alone would.
In a large property with a boundary wall door and two or three doors in the building, people mostly use one and keep the rest closed. How much effect do the unused entrances have?
They still have a small effect, about 10 to 20 percent, while the main door used for coming and going counts much more. Some houses have three main doors: if they are on correct padas they are not inauspicious even when they stay shut, so leave them. Doors on wrong padas that have been given the form of a door act as virtual doors.
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.
