Actually, almost exactly this question came up just the other day; it might be worth looking back and trying to find it, since our resident construction expert Bourth gave some very helpful explanations. But I believe this is the actual term he suggested.

Note from asker:
| Thank you Tony (and Bourth, for his comments). I should have checked the glossary before posting my question. As the first answer proposed included "rebated door", which is the translation I chose on the admittedly doubtful basis of ghits, I shall award points there, but in fairness they should be shared! |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Bourth (X)
: If a single door. Use of "vantail" suggests that might be a double door, only with one overlapping the other (hinders movement of the "static" leaf). "Normally" double doors simply abut at the middle, so either side can be opened independently of t'other.

Thanks, Alex! Since Michael says it apparently covers the actual frame (i.e. not just the other leaf, at the centre), I guess it probably does mean the whole door...?

| agree |
MatthewLaSon
: You are so right! It overlaps or covers the frame a bit. Remember "tasse de thé" vs. tasse à thé"

Thanks, Matt! Yes, indeed... you're talking to the right person about tea!

Discussion
The door is in fact a single leaf armoured door, and Bourth's comments (and explanation in the previous question referred to by Tony) confirm that "rebated door" is the term I am looking for here.
