thread_title: Door switch

message: What does this section mean: "Car doors generally include a three-stage door brake." What is a three-stage door brake? The word "brake" is linked to the article brake, which doesn't provide any information or pointers to information on "door brakes" (whatever they are). The section should be expanded to explain, or else deleted as uninformative. Herostratus (talk) 19:50, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Another door design?

message: The section is wrong. The boot lid is only a door if it opens into the cabin (IE you could enter the vehicle and get further than the boot. A 5/3 door car is an estate/hatchback body 4 and 2 door cars are either saloon or coupé bodies. I'm going o attempt to fix it.(Morcus (talk) 18:06, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Euro door categorization

message: This article really seems to focus on "automobile doors" whereas the term "vehicle" would include things like airplanes, boats, trains, etc.  So I think either this article needs some more info on doors in those applications, or it should be renamed to "Automobile door".  Thoughts? Dhollm (talk) 22:22, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I Agree that its wrong but think something on train/plane doors should be added rather than changing the name as there are alot of simillarities (A slamdoor on a train is very much the same as a car door, only it doesn't lock). How that should be integrated I'm nay sure, but perhaps someone who has an idea could start the ball rolling?(Morcus (talk) 14:09, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

text: Actually, it appears that the word automobile means something that moves under its own power.  Airplaines, boats and trains do the same and could be called automobiles.  However, a "car" may most appropriately mean an automobile that is land-based, since it is based upon words, such as "cart", that indicate that.  Vehicles are usually meant to be land-based as well, whereas a boat or a plane is not a vehicle.  (I may be wrong about that.)  I might prefer the title "Car Doors", otherwise we might have to begin including all sorts of doors.  This would help eliminate "truck doors" as well. - KitchM (talk) 20:49, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Is "vehicle door" the best title for this article?

message: It is unclear how a door moves when it is described as vertical and/or upward.  Also, is a scissor door actually a type of butterfly as is implied?
A butterfly's wing actually moves from the horizontal to the vertical in an upward arc, where they come together with their upper sides in contact with each other above their body.  That sounds closer to the movement of a gull-wing door, which also swings upward from the roof line over the roof.  While they tend to stop at the horizontal or just above, their movement arc could continue to be exactly like the butterfly's wings.
Finally, when mentioning movement, it might be well to state if the motion remains within one plane or another.  - KitchM (talk) 21:23, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
