automatic gate

Motorized entry barrier

An automatic gate is a gate that opens and closes mechanically, typically triggered by remote control, sensor, or keypad rather than manual effort.

Common at driveways, parking garages, and gated communities: The automatic gate swung open as we approached.

Security and convenience drive their popularity in both residential and commercial settings.
