Doorlevel

Doorlevel is a term that appears in discussions of security, access control, and software where it is used to describe the status or permission level associated with a door within a system. It is not a universally standardized term; its precise meaning varies by domain and vendor.

In access-control systems, doorlevel typically refers to the minimum clearance or credential requirement required to operate a door. Doors may be assigned levels such as general (Level 1), restricted (Level 2), or higher-security (Level 3+). The assigned level governs which users or groups can lock, unlock, or pass through the door, often enforced by credential checks, time-based rules, and multi-factor authentication. Event logging records doorlevel changes and access attempts for audit and security management.

In software and game development, doorlevel can denote a property of a door object indicating its location in a scene (for example, the floor or layer on which the door resides) or a rendering/interaction level that influences how the door is presented or interacted with in the user interface.

In architectural documentation, doorlevel is rarely used as a formal term; more common descriptors describe door height, sill, header, and clear opening dimensions. When encountered, doorlevel is usually a shorthand within a specific system or project.
