None of those sound good to me. Make a draft and get a draft have different meanings and I can't see liaison between opening a door and creating a draft. If you're implying a draft as a cheque, I would use "to draw a cheque" rather than the noun "draft".

At first, I thought you were composing, which would be write a draft. In your case, I would create a draft, probably.
