Black Rod enters the House of Commons in his/her capacity as the monarchs messanger. Before black rod enters, the MP's slam the door in his face in order to display their independence from the monarchy (the monarchs messanger has no automatic right to enter the chamber). He knocks, and the MP's voluntarily open the door, whereby he walks in and makes the proclamation that the Queen requests their company in the House of Lords.
