   I installed and lived with one in my home for 15 years.  It makes no difference as far as the door is concerned.  I never install plumbing in an outside wall, though.

   Don't mount the head too low.  Higher is better so the spray comes down more vertical and you don't hurt your back stooping.

   There isn't much clearance around the door, so you must take care in installing everything square and plumb so the door closes properly.  As the hinges wear the door tends to droop, so err on the high side if at all.

   Thanks

   Actually this is going in a basement. I was going to install on the "foundation wall" side with 2" of foam behind it.

   But if anything goes wrong there would be no access, so I am going to put it in a partion wall.

   Bill, I place them on the door handle side, whether neo or rectangular.  Thought is to keep it close to the user and aimed at the hinge side.  But if that wall is the outside wall, definitely reverse it.  I don't like any pipes in the outside walls.

   Shower head high enough to get under.  Definitely no piping onoutside wall.  You can even run asimiliar color laminate up from the stall to ceiling to make cleaning easier
