Can I install the new door design with glass in centre of thewooden doors for Wood Element? Thank you.

Dear Anon,

This also has to depend on the regulations of individual countries.

For example, in Singapore, today, all apartment especially those next to or in-close proximity to either the lifts or emergency staircase must use at least a half-hour fire rated main entrance door. Thus doors with such glass designs are out -- as it is against government building regulations.

For other countries e.g. Malaysia, you may have to confirm whether it can be used.

Locally in Singapore, most people -- even those living in the landed property avoid having partial glass doors because more of "custom" i.e. not quite used to the IDEA (in our minds) as it invokes "danger" real or unreal that someone could "smash the glass pieces" like some of those shows you see, the villian smashing them and placing their hands to unlock the door. True or untrue, this gives a not too good feeling for most of us.

In addition, it is quite common for many Feng Shui practioners to ask their clients to avoid using these doors as it does not symbolically give a "solid" feel. Else, leak wealth.

Thus, if one were to drive to any part of Singapore's landed property areas, more often, all the doors are "solid" wood doors without such glass pieces.

I believe, this type of doors would appeal more with "westerners" than those staying in Asia. Thus it is somewhat a matter of culture....

Under the Holy trinity of Luck:

Heaven luck - what is given to us
Earth luck - Feng Shui of our home/office
Human/man luck - e.g. our feelings.

If we do install the door, but keep on "questioning" is it OK? This could affect our Human or man luck and it could invariably affect us.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
