access gate
Controlled entry point
An access gate is a controlled entry point that regulates who or what can pass through—whether physical, like a gate at a secure facility, or digital, like a checkpoint in a computer system.
The term emphasizes restriction: The access gate requires a keycard after hours.
In electronics, an access gate may refer to a transistor component that controls signal flow.
