What is the correct name for a door high up on a outside wall?

Question

Seen on buildings that obviously at some time had deliveries, does anyone know the correct architectural name for the doors found high up on the face of a older building .

Answer 1

In southern Ontario, they were fairly common in older farmhouses, where it looked like someone planned to put a porch on but never got around to it. They were called suicide doors, but that term was for houses and not commercial buildings.

Might help, I looked around on Yahoo, but couldn't find anything.  Sorry.

Answer 3

There is no official name that I know of. These doors were not always used for deliveries. Some served as fire escapes at the mid landing point of an interior staircase. Good question.

Answer 4

In doctors offices or clinics, they were for the removal of the dead in caskets!  Dead doors?
