main entrance

Front door, usually

The main entrance is the primary or most prominent way into a building, as opposed to side doors, back doors, or service entrances.

It typically faces the street or public area and serves as the default point of entry: Meet me at the main entrance.

Large buildings may have multiple entrances, but the main entrance is usually the most visible and frequently used.
