    the gate has to also function as an emergency exit. That would be an unusual set of circumstances but not impossible.

    It’s actually quite usual.  It all depends on location and distances.

    And, for whatever reason, car park doors, even basement car park entry doors are often referred to by the industry as “gates”.

    I think it’s more do with a horizontal opening mechanism than a physical location.
