Kisérajtó

Kisérajtó is a Hungarian term that translates to "small door" or "wicket gate." It refers to a small, often secondary, entrance or passage, typically found in larger structures. These can be integrated into main doors, walls, or fences.

Historically, kisérajtók served various practical purposes. In older buildings, they might have been used by servants or children to enter and exit discreetly, or to allow access for smaller deliveries without opening a larger main entrance. In fortifications or castles, a kisérajtó could be a less obvious point of entry or exit, sometimes called a postern gate in English.

Modern examples of kisérajtók can be found in various contexts. A common instance is a small door within a larger garage door, allowing a person to enter or exit without opening the entire door. Similarly, some large garden gates or property fences might feature a smaller, more easily managed kisérajtó for pedestrian access. The term emphasizes a smaller scale compared to a main, full-sized entrance. The design and construction of a kisérajtó vary greatly depending on its location and intended use.
