Spanish term or phrase: "reja del ascensor"
"La reja del ascensor tenía flores con cáliz dorado" (from a short story).

Is it correct to say "the bars of the lift" or "the grille of the lift"? Still I think the text is referring to the door of the lift.

Well, I hope you can help me with this. Be patient, I'm just a student =)... Thank you very much!
