The ముఖ్య ద్వార belongs in the ఉత్తర, ఈశాన, పూర్వ. It is kept out of the దక్షిణ, నైఋత్య. Every other direction is workable, and every fault below has a traditional remedy.
The main door is where the tradition says the house meets the world, and it is the placement most people can still change — a door can be re-hung where a kitchen cannot be moved. The light directions take it; the heavy ones are held to admit what you would rather keep out.

ఉత్తర. A north-facing door is among the most sought placements, read as opening the house to Kubera’s direction and to opportunity that arrives without being chased.
ఈశాన. A north-east door is the classical best case: the entrance sits in the lightest, most protected corner, and the tradition asks only that it be kept clear, well lit and free of shoe racks and clutter.
పూర్వ. An east-facing door takes the first sun and is the placement most associated with reputation and steady dealings. It suits households whose day starts early.
దక్షిణ. A south-facing door is not the fault the internet makes of it, but the tradition asks for compensation: the door placed in the eastern half of the southern wall, a threshold that is not sunk, and the entrance kept bright rather than shadowed.
నైఋత్య. A south-west door is the placement the tradition warns about most, on the grounds that the heaviest corner should be closed. Where it cannot be moved, the remedies are a second, more-used entrance elsewhere, weight and storage restored to the corner inside, and the door itself kept modest.

No. The tradition assumes you cannot move a kitchen or a staircase, which is why almost every placement rule comes with a remedy — usually a change within the room (where the hob sits, which way the bed faces, what is stored in a corner) rather than a change to the building.
