We are looking for physical gates, something that can be closed and or opened, not a space where a gate could be. We must be able to see the gate, or a significant part of it. ( 5 years and 1269 days ago )

Many of us, the Indians have huge trouble with this word - darwaza. Because in hindi, it can be used for both the senses you're looking English words for.
Gate, in it's pure sense is a major separator between two areas, possibly where the inner area is under autonomous control of the owner. Door is an opening between any two areas or rooms. You have doors in your apartment, and your kitchen; while there's only one gate to the apartment complex. There can be a few major gates to a local park but hardly any doors. Your car has a door, not a gate. The fort near your city has a big wooden or iron gate leading inside the fort. If you have a large house with a big lawn, there's a main gate to your house, and there are numerous doors inside.
And, your refrigerator has a door, not a gate! ( 5 years and 1265 days ago )
