Re: Open Door Online, Inc.
Gentlemen:
This opinion is given in connection with the registration with the
Securities and Exchange Commission of 42,400 shares of Common Stock granted by
Open Door Online, Inc. (the "Company"). The Shares are being registered pursuant
to a requirement of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act") pursuant to a Registration Statement filed with the Washington, D.C.
Office of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Registration Statement").
We have acted as counsel to the Company only in connection with the review
of the Form S_8 Registration Statement prepared by the Company pursuant to which
the Shares were registered, in so acting, have examined the originals and copies
of corporate instruments, certificates and other documents of the Company
including an employment agreement and interviewed representatives of the Company
to the extent we deemed it necessary, in order to form the basis for the opinion
hereinafter set forth.
In such examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and
authenticity of all documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic
copies. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion which have not been
independently established, we have relied upon statements or certificates of
officers or representatives of the Company.
The 42,400 shares of Common Stock are being registered and distributed
pursuant to the Company's Registration Statement. The shares of Common Stock are
now authorized but unissued.

owners thereof.
This law firm hereby consents to the use of this opinion in connection with
the Company's Registration Statement and the inclusion of this opinion as an
Exhibit thereto.
Very truly yours,
