[Avodah] Open Door Policy

[Rich, Joel]

Sometimes a married woman finds herself in a situation where she may
need to be secluded with a man who is not her husband. My questions are:
 
1. Is there a minimum shiur, like a tefach, that a door has to be open?
2. If there is traffic on the street, and people can look in through the
window to see activities in the house (or specifically into the room
being worked on), would leaving the blinds open be enough? or does a
door have to be actually open?
3. Are these comings and going halachas similar to kashrus halachas
involving non-Jewish cooks, where the cooks have to be constantly in
fear of a Jew entering, thus they will be careful to not do anything
against halacha? 
4. What if someone lives in a totally secluded area, where there is no
street traffic at all, would leaving the door open be any help at all?
Or do we say that there is always a possibility of a visitor coming,
which would alleviate the problem?
