back gate
Yard's secondary exit
A back gate is a secondary entrance at the rear of a property, typically providing access to a backyard, alley, or service area.
It contrasts with the front gate or main entrance and often serves practical purposes like taking out trash, receiving deliveries, or allowing discrete entry.
The delivery driver came through the back gate.
Figuratively, back gate can suggest an unofficial or less visible route to something: He used the back gate to get the contract approved.
