Why would a malach use a wall when there is a door available?  
Consider Rashi regarding the behaviour of the malachim visiting 
Avraham Avinu.

OTOH, thus far the sources mentioned here are greeting the Shabbos 
and greeting the Sh'china.  Where do we see malachim are involved 
at all?  (Actually, given the context of L'cha Dodi, what is the 
source for saying the Sh'china?)
