: "Decent" is often used in the sense of big enough, good enough, strong enough, e.g. "You need to put a decent lock on it" (advice about locking up bikes), so the word "decent" needs to be used rather carefully.

Discussion
Or are they purely functional (gates to a factory or prison?), no pretence at ornament?
If we know what the gates are like, then perhaps we'll have a better idea of how the lock is культурный in comparison with the gates.
