The problem is that doors are not necessarily only or mainly
one directional, but perhaps it would be better to specify that when
direction is relevant x2 is the "to" and x3 the "from".

That would still not solve your problem though, because {lo se vorme},
even if directional, could be "the place that the door leads to (from here)"
or "this place where I am and the door leads to".
