apartment door
The entrance door that leads directly into an individual apartment within an apartment building.
Bitte schließ die Wohnungstür immer zweimal ab, wenn du gehst.
Please always double-lock the apartment door when you leave.
The word is made up of 'Wohnung' (apartment), the linking '-s-', and 'Tür' (door). The 's' is a linking sound that makes pronunciation easier.

Common verbs in connection with the apartment door are 'abschließen' (to lock), 'aufschließen' (to unlock), 'zuknallen' (to slam shut), or 'eintreten' (to enter / to kick in). You knock or ring 'an der Wohnungstür' (at the apartment door).
