The door=* tag allows us to describe the type of door being mapped. The door=* tag would usually be combined with an entrance tag, such as entrance=* for outdoor doors, indoor=door for interior doors, or another tag like amenity=loading_dock, or amenity=parking_entrance. These tags are relevant for wheelchair and indoor routing.

Tagging

The door=* tag must be placed on the node, which represents the door. Several values allow for distinguishing door types.

Values

Key	Value	Element	Comment	Rendering	Photo
door	yes		A generic door, use this only if you don't know the kind of door or if it doesn't fit in another value.
door	hinged		The traditional swinging door – mounted with door hinges and a vertical axis of rotation.
door	sliding		A sliding door, e.g. at an entrance to a shop.
door	revolving		A revolving door, e.g at an entrance to a shopping centre.
door	folding		A folding door – allows smaller footprint.
door	trapdoor		A trapdoor / a hatch. Flush with the surface of the floor.
door	overhead		A door rolling (or swinging) from overhead, mostly a garage door. Used mainly for vehicles, not humans. (See also entrance=garage.)
door	no		If the door itself is removed or the entrance is simply a hole in the wall, set the value to no.
door	user defined		All commonly used values according to Taginfo

Combinations

These tags are required:

• An entrance tag, such as entrance=*, indoor=door, amenity=loading_dock, or amenity=parking_entrance

Some tags are complementary to door=*:

• access=* – Who is allowed to pass this door (yes, no, private, customers, delivery, ...)
• automatic_door=* – Is the door automatic?
• level=* – At which floor this door can be found?
• width=* – The width of the door (useful for wheelchairs)
• height=* – The height of the door
• wheelchair=yes/no/limited – Wheelchair accessibility
• door:wings=* – number of door wings
• exit=*
• material=glass/wood/metal/plastic... – main material of door
• colour=* – main color of door

• door=loadingdock ‒ Use amenity=loading_dock instead

If you know places with this tag, verify if it could be tagged with another tag.
