I don't know if it can be fine-tuned. It is an old artifact, and one that few of my species were even aware of at all. If there are other pieces to it, then they have been lost to us.
Given the amount of people across a vast number of universes, it seems statistically impossible that it could bring the same few in over and over again. To that end, it's likely that it taints people with its initial selection, making them more likely to be drawn in again. With the number of worlds taken into consideration, it's also likely that it functions the same with universes and places in time- opening a specific pathway makes it easier and more likely to be opened again.
It's merely a theory. I don't know everything about it... but I do know that it operates based on our abilities. We use our power more than any technology. Artifacts that our ancestors created would have been the same.
It's difficult to explain. The Door draws in on chaos and disorder. It searches for a mirror of our power source- fear, sorrow, and so on. I suppose if you were to compare it to one of the dogs you humans use, we gave the door a "scent" and it uses that to locate beings that cause, experience, or represent a similar "scent". It then draws them though its threshold.
And before you ask- I don't know exactly how the draw works. It doesn't drain any of our energies to use it. The entire process is self sufficient.

[Look at that, he's using his polite adult words. This is all valuable information, and it's going to give him plenty to think about.]
One more question. When you say it operates based on your abilities, what exactly does that mean? Which abilities specifically power the Door?

OK. I think that's all I wanted to ask, for now. Thank you for answering my questions.
