exterior door

Building's outer portal

An exterior door is a door that separates a building's interior from the outside—the front door, back door, or any door opening to the elements.

Exterior doors are typically heavier and more weatherproof than interior doors, designed to provide security and insulation: We need to replace the exterior door—it's letting in drafts.
