"no sooner I opened the door" is also correct but I couldn't understand the whole sentence itself. But you are right purnima!

Why 'when' is not used ?

I think no sooner will agree with than more efficiently than when. Just check it.

The sentence is in PAST PERFECT tense. So, the correct sentence will be : No sooner had I opened the door than the rain, heavy and stormy, rushed in making us shiver from head to foot.

'No sooner' is followed by 'than'
Ex: No sooner did I enter the street, than an accident occured.
Ex: No sooner did I enter the street, than an accident occured.

Both had and did can be used after no sooner, the used of the following word depends upon the tense of the words used, later in the sentence.
E. G here "did" is used because we have here "making us shiver. ".
I. E. Shivering is still happening. Post effects of the events are still visible.
In the sentence, but in e. G. Like "No sooner had the company launched a new product than it went bankrupt", "had" is used because of "went bankrupt" where you are not able to see any continuous form of post effects by the statement.
