A type of gate. We have all seen them, but I don't what it is called.

Here is a picture of one: https://www.bgfix.se/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/slaggrind-fl...

swing gate
Explanation:
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?

security gate


Explanation:
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?

Notes to answerer
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.
