walk in
Step through doorway
To walk in is to enter a place on foot, often unexpectedly or without prior arrangement.
Someone might walk in on an intimate or private moment: I walked in on them arguing.
A walk-in is a person who arrives without an appointment, or a space large enough to enter: a walk-in closet, a walk-in freezer.
As an adjective, walk-in describes businesses serving customers without reservations: a walk-in clinic.
