In some apartments the main door is level but is built askew in the wall section. Is that acceptable?
No, such a door is not considered right, and the occupants usually face sudden obstacles in work or sudden health issues. Get the door made straight; treatments for cases where that cannot be done are taught later.

A relative's flat had its door at E1. After buying the adjoining flat and removing the common wall the entrance came onto N4, and soon their ancestral land was acquired for a bullet-train project and they received crores. Is this the N4 effect?
Yes, this is chhappar phaad wealth, which comes as soon as N4 opens. E3, N4 and W4 are the three vipul sampada dwar (abundant-wealth doors). Opening them virtually gives perhaps 1 percent of the actual result, so do not believe the heavy promotion of virtual doors; it is the actual opening that brings the result.
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.
In my building the flat entrance faces an electric shaft just before the lift, the same on all 25 floors. What should be done?
Remedies for a lift or shaft in the wrong place are taught in the diploma. The same lift falls in a different zone for each flat, in the NE for some and the NW for others, so the remedy depends on the zone it falls in.
You said to leave the main door clockwise, but the lift is on my left as I come out of the flat. What should I do?
When you step out of the main door, first go to the right, even a step or two, and then turn left; then there is no dosh. People do the same with cars, moving them a little in the clockwise direction first. Leaving the house anti-clockwise is called heen bahu dwar.
A shop shutter often spans four padas, such as S3, S4, S5 and S6. Which pada decides the results?
Do not worry that S3 and S6 are also open: if the good pada, S4, is open within the shutter, the shop gives the results of S4, because when energy enters from every part, positive and negative, the result follows the positive. Trouble comes only when the good part is closed and the bad parts are open; then keep the shutter closed and open a small door on the good pada instead. In combination doors for business, always keep the favourable pada fully open.
