entry door

Main building access

An entry door is the main door providing access to a building, typically the front door of a house or the primary entrance to a commercial space.

The term emphasizes the door's function as the point of entry rather than interior passage: We replaced the old entry door with a steel one.

Entry doors are often more substantial than interior doors, designed for security and weather resistance.
