gates (swinging barriers)
- Scope note
- Swinging or sliding barriers used to fill or close a gateway between two spaces or placed within a wall or fencing, often exterior and often made of a grating or open framework or forming a heavy or rough structure. For barriers of more solid and finished construction and usually leading to interior spaces, use "doors." For more substantial structures, whether or not they include an actual barrier, see various types of "gate structures."
