Just a small comment: I think there is potential confusion with this translation. In English, the adjective "next" is usually taken to mean "upcoming" or "following in a series" (note: this is not the same as "next to"). In Greek, διπλανός means "adjacent" or "(the one) beside," no? To express the same idea that an English-speaker would associate with "the next door" wouldn't the Greek phrase have to be η επόμενη πόρτα? For this specific phrase there is some argument since the English phrase "next door" can mean "the neighbors in the house beside ours," but I have seen in another exercise το διπλανό τραπέζι translated as "the next table" and that seems a bit deceptive...
Yes, it's a good synonym. And it is already in the incubator.
"Adjoining" specifically says the doors are attached. But this sentence only means the doors are next to each other. There's no reason to assume they are attached.
So, I'm afraid "adjoining" doesn't work.
