gated entrance

Secured access point

A gated entrance is an entryway controlled by a gate, typically requiring authorization to pass through.

The term usually describes residential communities, private estates, or secured facilities where access is restricted: The gated entrance to the subdivision had a guard booth.

It implies exclusivity or security—keeping unauthorized people out.
