If your house is facing a road, or someone else's house, opening a half door may make you feel safer and more comfortable. However, if your door is facing an alley or a river, it may make you feel safer and more comfortable if you open the door halfway.
In short, the quality of feng shui is not absolute, but varies from person to person and adapts to local conditions. If you have any questions about Feng Shui, I suggest you consult a professional Feng Shui master or architect.
