entry gates

Doors to enter

Entry gates are barriers controlling access to a property, venue, or enclosed area—the points where people or vehicles pass through to enter.

The term covers everything from decorative garden gates to security checkpoints at stadiums.

Visitors must check in at the entry gates before proceeding to the main building.
