I can't figure out why the second sentence is composed the way it is.. 
(a guy visits a friend who is ill)
- "Hasta olduğumu biliyor muydun?"
- "Hayır, ev sahibin kapıyı açtığında söyledi."
I guess the sentence means "The house owner who opened the door told it". But what is "-da" doing at the end of açtığında?? Is this a situation where the locative should be used, like "when he was [standing there and] opening the door"?
I'm racking my brain here and I just can't see it..

I'll leave the grammatical explanations to the experts but:
"açtığında" means "when s/he opened"
so:
"ev sahibin kapıyı açtığında söyledi"=
your house owner said it when s/he opened the door

Thank you Ayla 
Using "when" instead of "who" (like I did) does make things clearer..

1. did you know i was sick?
2. no, your house's owner tald me when he/she opened the door.
açtığınDA; when he/she opened
for example;
"actigin" kutu; the box which you opened
kutuyu "actigin"da"; "when" you opened the box
bana "geldigin" gun; the day you came to me
bana geldigin"de"; when you come to me;

I know about de/da and when it's used 
I never encountered it with a participle though, hence my confusion. Thanks once again

Elisa, here you have how to use the 'when suffixes', where says 'Saying When and When not'.
