Although I offer a circuitous route
Your ultimate purpose I may amply suit

I don't get unhinged, though pushed around all day
I'd serve no purpose if I never gave way

I'm a gate of sorts, and access I'll permit
Provided, of course, security sees fit

What am I ?


Answer will be provided next Thursday evening after 21:00.

ANSWER

A revolving door.

Lines 1-2: A revolving door goes around in circles i.e. "a circuitous route". However, it fits into one's "ultimate purpose" of reaching their destination, by providing a path to it along the way.

Lines 3-4: Despite being "pushed around all day", a revolving door cannot "get unhinged" since it has no emotions. And it would "serve no purpose" if it "never gave way", or never yielded, to those who push it (around).

Lines 5-6: A revolving door, being a point of entry into a building, enables access to the building, so long as it is not locked by the security personnel of that place.
