The =* tag allows us to describe the type of door being mapped. The =* 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 =* tag must be placed on the node node, which represents the door. Several values allow for distinguishing door types.

Values

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

Combinations

These tags are required:

Some tags are complementary to =*:

  • 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

Possible Tagging Mistakes

If you know places with this tag, verify if it could be tagged with another tag.
Automated edits are strongly discouraged unless you really know what you are doing!
