Wing/Strut Blow out panels/doors are generally in the area of pneumatic ducts which run along the wing leading edges. They are usually spring-loaded and often hinged.

I have to agree with the 15 year guy. In my 40 year experience in the aircraft engineering world, riveted or screwed down panels have never been called doors.
