Can anyone help me with a word I can't remember?!

I'm trying to think of the word for when you have two doors into a place with a space in between (like a prison) - you have to close the first door behind you before you can open the second. I think another word for it is an airlock but that's not the one I'm thinking of. Google is just giving me riddles about prisons and doors and guards! Does anyone know what I mean?!

Just googled it and it seems to be called a mantrap, aka air lock, aka sally port, aka access control vestibule. Any of those what you’re looking for??

Yes @icedaisy! It's sally port I was trying to think of
thank you all for answering my bizarre plea!
