What do you call a garage door?

[Fernando]

I'm not talking about a regular door access to garage.
For the sake of me, I forgot the term for that big garage thing that goes up and down when remote is pressed.

On a residential dwelling, the thing that goes up and down where you park a vehicle is most commonly called a:

Garage Door​

This is the large door that opens—either by lifting up, rolling up, or swinging out—to allow a car into a garage. It can be:

• Manual or automatic (motorized with a remote or wall switch)
• Overhead sectional door (most common)
• Roll-up door
• Tilt-up door

I call them OHD, unless they are carriage doors (which you don't see much anymore here but coming back in style)

Personnel door

Personnel door

You're kidding.

 

[Mike Ault]

You're kidding.

Not even a little bit. Think of business run from a warehouse. You have a large door for your supplies & equipment and a smaller door for your personnel.
