If you count toys then it's definitely wheels. Even if you didn't it's still probably wheels. Chairs, strollers, shopping carts, luggage.
Any large multi-room building, like an apartment complex or a hospital or something, would drastically increase the door count. And if we're talking toys, what about toy houses? Do lego doors count?
Lego wheels vastly outnumber Lego doors though.
Lego is the biggest tire manufacturer in the world.
Hospital doors have to be out numberer by the stools doctors scoot around on, I think.
Plus hospital beds, medical equipment, supply carts.
But all those medical cabinets have doors too, lockers have tons of doors... It's a tight race I think.
But so do lego 18 wheelers.
Also, wheelbarrows, roller skates, one wheels, scooters, trains and roller coasters....
1 office chair has 5 wheels. Almost every home has at least 1 office chair. And if we look at hospitals then it gets even worse because there are a lot of the beds have wheels.
And then we can go even further. A lot of curtains use rollers which are wheels. So if I just look at my apartment, I probably have 15-20 doors(cabinet doors, etc. but a lot of the normal doors are sliding doors which use wheels) and probably 50-100 wheels. And that is probably undercounting the wheels that are there by a lot.
Yeah, but does that hold up globally? There are 8 billion people out there, plenty without computers or curtains. My guess is wheels only win cause you can also count defunct wheels on landfill bound chairs and things-- is a door still a door if it's unhinged and scraped?
we getting into quintessence talk now.
Plus all the mechanical components that are technically wheels; gear and cogwheels, flywheels, pulleys, etc.
Cabinets man. Look around in a kitchen or bathroom, every single house in the world has a ton of doors.
Hotels, they're basically made out of doors (including furniture and appliances). Cruise ships take it to a whole other level.
Commercial lockers. It's ridiculous how many doors these spaces have.
Wheels probably wins because of the ridiculous amount of toys, but it's a fight.
I wasn't sure when I opened the comments but you have fully convinced me #teamwheels
Wait - are we counting furniture? Because cabinets, wardrobes, refrigerators, etc all have doors. #teamdoor
Some of those also have wheels, 4 usually, while at most having two doors
#teamwheel
I don't know if this is true, but when I was doing training in the tyre industry, one of the leaders liked to ask, which company, globally, manufactures the most tyres? obvious answers included Michelin and the like. Their answer? Lego. apparently they pump out more rubberized tyres than any other car tyre manufacturer
again, not sure if actually true, but it makes me think there a lot of wheels out there. however, Lego also makes things with doors...
This is a true fact, Lego even has the Guinness world record for the number of tires produced per year.

I wonder what the rubber volume is like in comparison rather than numerical volume.
The materials are different, but a Lego tire is like 2.5 grams. A car tire is, let's say, 10kg - some are lighter, others heavier.
Michelin alone produces like 200 million tires a year, Vs Lego's 300 million, so car tires use more materials by several orders of magnitude, it's not even close.
Think about how many wheels and doors you have in your place. Every cabinet and oven has a door. Every building is chock full of doors. I feel like most people only have a few wheels around compared to doors.
I have a wheel on my mouse, four bikes, a scooter, roller blades. Are gears wheels? Then a mechanical watch is breaking records
