What's the difference between gate and visitor gate?

Not having to walk around your own place in case you want to go a certain direction can be QoL.
And with palisades the gates are not expensive.

I can't understand what's the purpose of non-visitor gates? If somebody is chasing you in PvP, and you run towards your gates - it must be very hard to open gates, run in and close them in front of your opponent. Or is it not very hard? Better get knocked out outside of your walls than let them inside with no visitor... Also this means that I need to carry master (?) key with me all the time? Seems too risky. Or I misunderstand something.

People have an "in only" airlock beside their Vgates. All the gates open inwards, so once it's closed inside you can't get out. Run in, if the person chooses to follow close the door. Now inside that airlock, you put a tiny house with a locked door.

Picking the lock slows the attacker down enough that you can de-aggro and hearth, and now they're stuck in your airlock.

It Depends on future expansion plans.

The only purpose for which the slave keys exist is that if someone KOs you and take your key, they can not use it to get inside your claim. You only enter by porting to your heart fire you built inside. If you have even one single door built in reverse, you are not protected anymore.

i used to have a gate like this on w10 and never had an issue

For anyone having trouble visualizing this:

Slave keys can get you into the airlock, but the main compound still only has doors leading out.

Why bother with the airlock? Why not just build the locked house outside your walls and have only visitor gates?
