To be done

Question

Hello,I would like to ask questions about Passive infinitive.For example one can say:There are  works to be done.I know this is correct.But how about using it with a Relative Clause ?Would it be correct ?With the increase in our export...We havent left any places whose door to be knocked.And the  last question.I would like to know If this sentence is correct too ?I know that When we say there are works that should be done.We can reduce it just as I wrote in the begining. (There are works to be done)So I would like to know lf I can sayThere are works which should be doneThere are works which to be done.Thank you.

Thank you for your reply.
Can you tell me why "whose door to be knocked" is incorrect ?
Sorry for the way I asked the questions.

I assume that you mean you have knocked on all the doors in every place you have been; there are no more places with doors to be knocked on. You simply cannot express it in the way you have tried.
