The following is excerpt from a blog titled

Egress vs Exit?​

at https://kilolimacode.com/egress-vs-exit/

"Exits include doors or doorways leading directly into an exit stair or directly to the outside. In the case of an exit leading to a separate building, exits also include vestibules, walkways, bridges or balconies."

Is there a scenarios where an exit includes door (not doorway)?

Doorway only: things that come to mind would be exterior passageways or open air venues like an arena that are still controlling ingress and egress without the use of actual doors.

Door only, no. In my mind the door has to be seated in a doorway. I could be wrong though. I just have nothing that I can think of that would apply.
