Am I right to say that a gate restricts entrance externally and a door restricts entrance internally ?

Please note, al-anwaar, that a space before the question mark isn’t allowed.
For the most part, I agree with you that gates are external. A gate restricts access to a yard, a field, or any outdoor space. There are some exceptions, some of them technical, such as waste gate or sluice gate. But baby gate, pointed out by Haniballl, is the only one I can think of that actually brings a gate inside the house.
I was also thinking of a cell gate in a prison. In movies etc I've heard them called gates and doors, so I'm not sure how you would categorise that.
Your reply calls attention to another distinction: gates are openwork They are collections of horizontal and vertical members, whereas doors are solid.
Got me again
