It is just a structure which should not be changed:
No sooner did X happened than Y happened.
No sooner had X happened than Y happened.
So "than" is necessary.
No sooner did X happened than Y happened.
No sooner had X happened than Y happened.
So "than" is necessary.

I am confused here, should it not be then instead of than? If not then please explain.

Here no sooner is in 1st sentence but than is in other if no sooner will flow than then it must be in one sentence.

It the rule that "No sooner" always followed by "than".

No sooner means the sentence actually means when he opened the door suddenly or in some quick session after he opened the door.

If I say in a simple way then the sentence would be I did open the door no sooner means "I opened the door slowly ".
Even when they opened the door carefully heavy rain came in shivered us head to foot in place of opened sentence did open which also shows action happened in past tense.
Here no sooner did maybe shows xpression because I seen this kind of example in direct speech eg she said,"doesn't this flower smell beautiful!".

It is not necessarily a past perfect tense @Swapnil. The sentence can be framed as " No sooner I opened the door than the rain, heavy and stormy, rushed in making us shiver from head to foot. " Or it can said the way it is given in the question.
