vertical door
dikke vandalen:
valdeur
2 sluisdeur die in sponningen op en neer wordt bewogen; synoniem: schuifdeur, schotdeur
Technisch woordenboek Scheeps-, regel- en installatietechniek:
valdeur = vertical door (Frans: porte quillotine)
schuifdeur = sliding door (LEXICON SCHEEPVAART EN TRANSPORT IDEM)
verticale schuifdeur = vertical sliding door
waterdichte verticaal bewegende schuifdeur = water-tight vertical motion sliding door
waterdichte horizontaal bewegende schuifdeur = water-tight horizontal motion sliding door
schotdeur = bulkhead door (Frans: porte de cloison) (IS DUS GEEN SCHUIFDEUR VOLGENS MIJ)

Sluice gates rarely, if at all open in the conventional way. Try opening a door in the conventional way in deep water.
