Dear Mark,

1. It would be nice if we can have a look at the design. But not `compulsory' thou.

2. Where possible, doors should open inwards into the house and not outwards.

3. It is acceptable to have carved doors especially, if the owners like them. There is no `fixed' rule on the type of carved door used.

4. In fact, there are many houses in the `past' where decorative panels are used on doors.

5. Nowadays, the most common (in relation to temple main doors)are the `proud' figures of the two famous door gods one on each side of the door panel.

6. Normally a nice designed door panel is good to have and would not be a `horrible mistake'.

As I do not have a full view of the door, can only comment up to here.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
