...Schlosserarbeiten besonders im Torbau.

I did. "such an" refers back to 1 ("may be closed by a gate"). I don't think we're getting on the same page here; perhaps it's the "enclosed."

Companies specializing in "gates" still have a separate item for "garage doors":
http://www.garagedoorrepairarcadia-ca.us/gate-repair-arcadia...
http://www.gaterepairhermosabeach.com/garage-door-repair-in-...

And the "industrial doors" you see at this US company would be "Tore" in German:
http://www.crown-industrial.com/

Or this:
"Pittsgate is approached down a gravelled driveway (subject to the right of way for the oast house) with an open gateway and parking area for several cars in front of the barn.

There is a 4 bay barn with double doors to front and rear providing 4 open storage bays beneath a cat slide roof."
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-408498...

The "double doors" of the barn are "Doppeltore" in German. Basically, every "gate" is a "Tor" in German (unless you're talking about a "wicket gate," which is a "Schlupftür"), but not every "Tor" is a "gate" in English, nor is every "gateway." It's mainly about size - at least in German.

Anyway, enjoy your evening :)

noun
1.
an entrance or passage that may be closed by a gate.
2.
a structure for enclosing such an opening or entrance.

? Your own dictionary definition says: "an entrance or passage that may be closed by a gate." Do you consider a garage or barn door to be a gateway (to animal heaven)?

Both the AHD and Random House concur:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/gateway

As in:
"Installing and mpairing gates, iron doors, flagpoles, iron fences and roof decking"

Hi Björn. Yes, there are many possiblities, hence gatewayS

Am I the only taken aback by the following statement from the fourth [edit: not third] answer?
"Und Schlosserarbeiten heißt 'fitting' auf Englisch, wenn es nicht um Schlüssel und Schloss, sondern um Metallbau geht."

14:12 Jul 16, 2016 

"Schlosserei ist die umgangssprachliche Bezeichnung für klein- oder mittelständische Unternehmen, die Metallbauarbeiten durchführen."
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlosserei

So Ramey's right, it's a metalworker in an SME. I have no clue why cbeene said "agricultural machinery mechanic" here because "Tor" has little to do with it. No vehicle or agricultural equipment should have a "Tor" in German. He or she probably works at a diversified company like this one:

Am a bit puzzled why this should be limited to "gate."

There are:
- Garagentore
- Flügeltore
- Falttore
- Schiebtore
- Hoftore

http://www.schmid-tore.de/startseitett.html

Not all of them are "gates":

https://www.farmtek.com/farm/supplies/cat1;ft_building_mater...

German is different here from English: In German, it's mainly about size, not location (Tür smaller, Tor bigger;
one example: https://www.baufachinformation.de/Torarten/sch/sf23_11.htm).

There are two Schloßerbetriebe hier in the area, both translate themselves as welder/metalworker. They produce aluminum, iron, steel and other alloyed balcony raillings/enclosures, gateways, portals, racks and somesuch.

mean mechanic rather than metalworker?
