And this case, Cour Delepine entrance, Paris:
It certainly looks like doors. But if one knew that it led into a 'cour'
(courtyard), one would call them gates (or a (double) gate).
The OED defines 'door' as:
' 1.
' a. A movable barrier of wood or other material, consisting either of
one piece, or of several pieces framed together, usually turning on
hinges or sliding in a groove, and serving to close or open a passage
into a building, room, etc.'
The final 'etc.' leaves room for argument, but otherwise the definition
suggests that the space on one side of the barrier must be inside a
building for it to be considered a door.
