carriage door

Train compartment entrance

A carriage door is a door on a railway carriage or coach, or a style of door that swings outward from hinges at the outer edge—the opposite of conventional car doors.

Carriage doors on garages swing open like barn doors rather than rolling up: The old stable had been converted to a garage with original carriage doors.
