sidepost

Doorway's vertical frame

A sidepost is a vertical structural member along the side of a frame, doorway, or opening.

In construction, sideposts support lintels and headers: The carpenter checked that the sideposts were plumb before installing the door.

In vehicles, sideposts form part of the body structure between windows.
