entrance door
Building's main access
An entrance door is a door serving as the main point of entry to a building, as distinct from interior doors, side doors, or service entrances.
The term is slightly redundant—entrances imply doors—but appears in architectural and real estate contexts where specifying the primary access point matters: The entrance door faces the street.
