I would say you need an actual door so the doorway between your living room and hallway doesn’t count. That’s a doorway, not a door
The issue is, what counts as a wheel?
My car engine has some round shit that spins for belts on it, are those wheels? I would say, for fun, no. It has to be a wheel… used for moving the object around, gears and shit don’t count
I still think wheels win because there are lots of toy cars in the world
Relatedly, I heard somewhere (probably on No Such Thing As A Fish? but maybe also on Lateral) that the manufacturer that produces more tires than any other is Lego.
What about on a van? My kids get in and out of the back door of our van, but when all the seats are up it’s essentially just a big trunk lid.
Then consider kitchen cabinets. There’s no other word for cabinet doors - they are necessarily doors. Is a trunk lid different from a car door in any ways that a cabinet isn’t different from a house’s front door?
I dunno, I think a lot of those “round shit that spins” are defined as wheels. A pully consists of a wheel and something stretched over it and pulled. A gear is literally a “toothed wheel”. I could see an argument that a typical ball bearing consists of 2 wheels, an inner and outer.
Still though. Doors are everywhere. Cabinets, ovens, microwaves, fridges/freezers, washers and dryers, closets, etc. The trunk and hood of a car, the glove box, center console, the little storage compartments tucked away all over modern SUVs, hell there’s a door hiding the mirror on my driver’s and passenger’s sun shade in my car.
I think I could literally have this conversation back and forth all day. lol
People are getting way to technical about it
Human made doors vs human made wheels
Balls don’t count as wheels

A gear is called a tandwiel in dutch. Which translates to teeth wheel.
So those are wheels and they are everywhere.
Fair, but I think when somebody says “wheel”, they’re talking about the things on cars or bikes or chairs or whatever that help it move
Counting gears and such just seems way to technical for a casual debate between friends at a bar
At least, for me. But every friends group is different
It’s called a cogwheel in English
Look, I’m not about to let Dutch tell me what’s a wheel and what isn’t. 😉
Toy cars, scooters, bicycles, motorcycles 2:0 real cars are probably a little over 1:1
I think you nailed it

Would a car trunk lid count as a door? My guess would be no. Same with the hood.
