What would you want a socket on the back of a door for!?
We moved into a house and found a rather "DIY" looking surface mounted double BS1363 socket and decided to investigate it as it didn't switch off when the RCD tripped one day.
It was wired directly into the back of the cooker!!!!
as was the microwave!.. they'd simply cut the plug off and wired it squished the cables into the cooker connector! along with cables going to this socket and the incomming heavy cooker cable!...

I've also had to put out a fire caused by someone using a washing machine and dryer connected to a 2 socket extension reel.. they'd just bypassed the 13 fuse in the plug as it kept blowing...

Oh yeah, also found recessed lights grounded by simply by stripping back their earth cables and wrapping them tighting around a water pipe!!! in the attic.
I guess you have to give the guy some marks for effort, at least he vaguely understood the concept of grounding. Most people just wouldn't bother to hook that cable up if they couldn't find somewhere to connect it to.
I have no idea why he didn't just connect them to the grounding contact provided for them in the junction box they were connected to anyway!
The same guy also insulated with 4" of fiber glass wool right over the top of the light cans in the attic.. they had obviously repeatedly caught fire and gone out when we dug them out of the insulation.. it was very lucky that they'd nothing except plaster and fiber glass around them.. all of the insulation had burned off the cables!
We also dug a VERY hot bell transformer out from under the fiber glass too..
