Movement During Prayer

Question
Is it permissible for the person praying to open the door while praying? Is it a requirement to keep his face directed towards the Qibla?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The movement to open the door is frequent, and similar actions invalidate the prayer. It is disliked to turn the face away from the Qibla, and the prayer is invalidated by turning the chest away from the Qibla. And God knows best.
