Uks is an everyday word used for any physical door (house, room, car, etc.). It appears in many common phrases and compounds (for example, ukselukk 'door lock'). In Estonian grammar it declines (nominative 'uks', genitive 'ukse', allative 'uksele'), so you'll see different forms depending on the sentence.
