Should be "then" Because than signifies comparison.

There are many such words. For eg.:

Not only.... but also
Scarcely.....when
Both ..... and
Hardly ..... when. etc.

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

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.

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