While fixing doors in the walls, the following points should be kept in mind:
First the length of the wall should be measured; its length should be divided into two equal parts. The door should be fixed a little bit nearer towards the northern side from the centre of the wall, as the southern side is not a prosperous one. Similarly the door should be fixed a little bit nearer towards the eastern side from the centre of the wall, as the western side is not a prosperous one.
All the doors fixed in the parallel walls should be in the same line.
Extended sides and diminished sides of sites and their consequences:
- A site which has its south-east and south-west sides extended yields bad results. People who live in such houses may become ill and may make enemies.
- If the south-east corner and the north-west corners are extended, the dwellers will face many negative consequences such as fire related accidents, thefts or debts etc.
- If the south-east and the north-east corners are extended, they may have to spend huge sums of money and incur losses.
- A site that has its sides extended on the north-east and the south-west may lead to mental agony and spending huge amounts of money.
- A site that has its sides extended on the north-east and north-west may yield to good results such as enhancement of riches, but often result in family disputes etc.
- A site that has its north-eastern slightly extended than its south-east may prosper well in life but this growth on the north should be very limited.
- If the north-east side of a site gets extended than its north-west, the dwellers of the house prosper and they become politically shrewd.
- If the south-west and the north-west sides are extended, the dwellers are prone to many problems, diseases, imprisonment etc.
Vastu Doors: Places of the Doors and Windows
A house can have the doors on all sides. A house needs doors, windows, shelves and ventilators. These things should be in even number.

The south-western side of the house is considered to be the mean sides and the north and the eastern sides are considered to be the good sides.

The level under the threshold on the southern and the western sides should be over and above that of the eastern and northern sides.
