Hello english native spekaers, I have a little concern... If there ia a double door gate to the mansion and inside of the mansion there are two buttons - one of them is going to open one side of the gate only (just for a person to pass) and the other one is going to open all the gate (in case car need to pass).

The question is: how do you properly and correctly call the function of each button in english so it would be clear to understand for any english speaker. Thank you in advance for your help.

Answer

Hi Konrad,
Interesting question. There are different ways to answer this. 
Button 1 can be labeled "single"
Button 2 can be labeled "double" like double doors.
OR
you can just have pictures above or below each button. Think about elevators/lifts with the open or close symbol. In this case.
Button 1 can be a picture of a pedestrian (like the symbols you see while driving)
Button 2 can be a picture of a car.
Hope this helps you.
