iron door
Heavy metallic gateway
An iron door is a door made of iron or steel, typically heavy and solid.
Iron doors suggest security, permanence, and impenetrability—they appear on fortresses, prisons, and bank vaults.
Figuratively, an iron door represents an absolute barrier: An iron door had closed between them.
The phrase sometimes describes a final, irreversible separation.
