Question about doors in Mid World

[unclelouie]

I've just begun DT VII, and read up to the point where "Chumley" the robot carries Suze down the escalator to the Fedic doors. We know that the Old People used these doors to travel to different times/places, but man-made doors are only one way. So this begs the question. How the hell did the Old People return once they went through these doors? I must be missing something very simple here....

Doors work both ways my man.

[unclelouie]

Then why does Sai King say that man made doors are "one way"....

[mattgreenbean]

I can't argue if they are one way or not, but I think there are other ways to travel mentioned in passing. Either way, I'm sure the old ones had maps of other door locations.

Is there mention in the Concordance?

As I recall, There were "Magic" or "Naturally created doors" and "Man Made" doors. The latter were "Two-Way" and of course there were "thinny's" and "Todash space" which could accomplish the same, but check me on this.

Simple: the men who could make doors ("Great Old Ones") made those doors that went one way into another world, then made another door n that world that went one way back.

I don't think that was it to my memory, but I could be wrong.
