Has anyone else noticed that 扉 tends to be used much more in Kansai?

門 is Japanese style gate (with two doors)
扉 is western style gate (with two doors)
ドア is interior door

They're called 障子（しょうじ）. Mind to not mix them up with the sliding panel 襖（ふすま）.
You can find this kind of information using a dictionary like http://jisho.org/ .

ドア also includes exterior human-sized doors.
And in my experience, full-length sliding glass doors seem to simply be called 窓.

The number of times I've actually heard とびら used in Japanese.....0
I lived in Shikoku for three years if anyone is wondering.

Yeah, I would have to agree with that -- I've only seen 扉 used in video games and such. Wikipedia seems to suggest that 扉 and ドア are essentially the same thing, but that 扉 is more archaic/formal sounding.

I lived in Shikoku for three years if anyone is wondering.
At other stations there was an automated message that says 扉がしまります。扉がしまります。 and at one point there was an announcement about an upcoming station that finished with 右側の扉がひらきます。

Now that's making me try to think if they use 扉 in Tokyo trains and I just haven't noticed....but I don't think so. I'm pretty sure they just say ドア.
