What is door power?
When the main door is installed in a muhurta, its four-piece frame (chaukhat) is set up and the base piece of wood is the dehleez (threshold). Door power means installing that dehleez in a muhurta combined with the right swar, with the prescribed samagri, such as silver and pancha ratna, placed in the ground beneath it. Done this way, even a door in a wrong place has about 50 percent of its defect removed. The full door treatment is part of the complete course.

In door power, along with quartz crystals, can gomti chakra, yellow mustard and white mustard be added?
Yes, and more than ten grains can be used. If the pit is dug about 10 to 11 inches deep, add yellow mustard. In the dehleez, white mustard must always be put, in good quantity.
Why were silver and pancha ratna placed under the dehleez in temples, palaces and old buildings?
When the thresholds of thousand-year-old temples, forts and palaces were lifted, silver coins and pancha ratna were found beneath them. The dehleez itself stops negative surface currents and tantric attacks from crossing into the house; silver stops negative energy from entering and cancels the ill-effects of the door, and the pancha ratna make positive energy flow through the dehleez and multiply on every festival as it enters the house. Roots of certain plants, such as black dhatura, were also placed in the dehleez so that no ghost or evil obstruction could enter.
Flats usually have a single-shutter main door. Is it good to add a mesh (jali) door in front, so you can see who is outside?
Yes, a jali door can be made; it is called the supporting door of the main door and is an old tradition, since double paata frames were made earlier, with a jali door on one side and a two-shutter door. It needs a double paata chaukhat with a suitable dehleez, which builders generally do not provide in flats, so ask the builder; without that dehleez and frame the second door cannot be fitted.
If a lift opens directly into the house, does it work as the main door?
A door is an opening with a threshold (dehleez) and a frame (chaukhat). Energy does come in through a lift, but only while the lift is there and open; when it is closed or has gone down, no energy comes from it, so it does not act like a proper main door.
My flat has no dehleez, only the door and its frame. What can I do?
Take a shubh muhurta for dehleez installation (the teacher posts dehleez muhurtas every month) and have a dehleez made. It should still be of wood; make it of stone if you want to become firm and of wood for a softer nature, choosing the type of wood by the qualities you want.
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.
