Types of gates found at construction sites
A type of gate. We have all seen them, but I don't what it is called.

swing gate
This seems to be the most obvious solution, and one that produces quite a lot of hits - is there a particular reason why you don't want to use it?
Note from asker:
| No reason at all. I am happy with that one. |

security gate
I had never heard of a 'Swing Gate' so I looked around a bit and taken with your picture, I wonder if "Security gate" might fit better?
Note from asker:
| I appreciate your effort, Michael. Still, I perhaps should have offered more context. It is looking more and more like a "swing gate" as opposed to a "sliding gate" for instance. The document in question is a catalogue of various access control systems to construction sites. They are all security gates, indeed. |
