Lango
Lango, literally big door, is what a gate is. Mlango is just any door specifically small like that of a house.
Kiingilio, means 'entry' and can only be use for a gate or door used for entry so it is not a suitable sign for a gate used for exit.

Lango
Mlango would be used with door but when one says gate, Lango is more appropriate
