unenterable
Cannot go in
Unenterable describes a space or state that cannot be entered.
A building might be unenterable due to structural damage; a country unenterable without proper documentation.
The word extends to abstract territories: an unenterable realm of privilege, data fields left unenterable by the system.
The opposite of enterable, though neither word sees heavy use.
