The shrine can be closed off by a pair of black lacquered interior doors with gold lacquer lattice work lined with golden mesh silk. And by a pair of black lacquer outer doors with gold lacquered cartouches fitted with decorative metal hardware and a large sliding lock shaped as a Pauwlonia crest in front.
