First you're here. Walk through this here gate—possibly only when the moon is gibbous, or you have yellow violets in your left hand, possibly only with the Applied Phlebotinum and Techno Babble of quantum mechanics or folding space-time or maybe even magic—and then you are... there.
Cool, ain't it?
Unlike Cool Car, Cool Boat, etc., this is not about distinctly cool gates. Gates tend to be rare enough that they are all cool. Even when they interconnect into a Portal Network.
This is a common way of getting to Magical Land. After all, even the coolest of airplanes and boats have a little trouble with the travel there; subtropes include Portal Pool, Portal Door, and Portal Picture.
It's also common in Science Fiction.
Be warned that there is no guarantee of pleasantness or even familiar physics on the other side. Alien Geometries are not unknown.
After a time, Portal Slam may result, or it may close when in use.
Since there's no real-world analog to teleportation, writers can apply any variety of bizarre special effects to the act of being transported without hurting Willing Suspension of Disbelief. On the other hand, they can also appear relentlessly mundane—perhaps a simple arched doorway in a wall of crumbling stone—until you look or step through them, and notice the discrepancy.
Note that Thinking Up Portals is the trope for characters who can create holes in reality to transport themselves without crossing the intervening distances. This is a kind of Teleportation with Drawbacks due to placing restrictions on an entrance or exit. It may overlap Our Wormholes Are Different.
Has nothing to do with media or political scandals being referred to with a reference to "Watergate" or with a particular brand of toothpaste.
You go in here...

The novelization of the Doom series had the Gate to "Hell" actually be a matter transmitter leading to aliens who used psychological warfare, by imitating feared images from humanity's collective unconscious. But, unlike most fictional interstellar teleportation, it was not faster than light.

Bleach:
The Gates of Hell. When a Hollow who committed grave sins in life is cut down by a Shinigami, the Gates manifest nearby and open just wide enough for something to impale the Hollow in question and drag them inside.
The main antagonists of the fourth movie attempt to lure Ichigo to Hell by kidnapping Yuzu so that they can force him to use his Hollowfication to destroy the Gates of Hell, expecting that they will be able to escape permanently afterwards. After Ichigo defeats their leader, Kokuto reveals that destroying the Gates is pointless, as what really binds the sinners to Hell is the unbreakable chains embedded to them. When Ichigo ends up actually destroying the Gates after giving in to his Inner Hollow in the ensuing fight, the end result is that Hell's miasma begins leaking to the World of the Living, and the Gotei 13 scramble to contain the damage until the Gates repair themselves by the end of the movie.
The gate (that looked like a big sliding door) that Soul Reapers could create to travel from the world of the living to the Soul Society (Captain Kuchiki uses one early in the series to return himself, Rukia and Renji).

Ah! My Goddess:
In one of the later manga volumes, we get to meet the gate between Earth and Heaven, and she's a kinda cute creepy girl. One that wants to have some fun and won't open for anyone till she's had some. Eventually, Keiichi is dragooned into opening her, with a (big) key.
In the movie, there is also a magic gate that only true lovers could pass through and still remain together. Guess what happened.

Egosoft's X-Universe series has both Jump Gates, linking sectors of space, (which may or may not be neighboring in actual space, or millions of light years apart.), while the Terran race has two Jumpgates for Earth, and a network of Trans-Orbital Accelerators, which are basically starship railguns, flinging ships across the Sol system, though they cannot be targeted by the jumpdrive.
X: Rebirth retains the Jump Gates, and adds in massive Super Highway gates, which create streams of energy capable of accelerating ships to faster-than-light speeds for interplanetary travel, and smaller highways for travel within planetary orbit.

SD Gundam Force: The Zakurello Gate, a sentient dimensional doorway is used by the Dark Axis to travel between their world and Neotopia's. Entering the Gate is like flying into the jaws of some beast. Of course, it being self-aware has its own set of problems. Shute is able to trick the Gate into opening by impersonating Zapper Zaku, and when the Gundam Force use the Gate to leave Neotopia is Episode 27, the Zakos force it to change the destination mid-transport, stranding the Cool Ship in the Void Between Worlds. In the last episode, the Gate disappears to parts unknown altogether.

Dimensional portals show up quite frequently in Supergirl stories:
In Demon Spawn, villainous sorceress Nightflame opens a dimensional rift to travel from her universe to the physical world.
The Supergirl from Krypton (2004): Supergirl's rescue party use a mother box to reach Apokolips, and later Superman uses another to go from the Sun to the Wall Source.
In Supergirl (1972) issue #5 a villain uses a dimensional gate resembling a normal door to drag the Girl of Steel in another dimension.
In Good Looking Corpse, a group of villains use portals to find and harass heroes.
In the beginning of Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade's Grand Finale, a glowing space-time vortex opens in Linda and Lena's dorm, and an alternate Supergirl flies out of it.
In Strangers at the Heart's Core, a glowing, golden rift in the fabric of the reality lets Kryptonian villain Shyla Kor-Onn get out of the Phantom Zone and fly into the physical world.
In Escape from the Phantom Zone, the Tycho Eidolon device generates a dimensional portal shaped as a glowing energy sphere which drags everything surrounding it into the Phantom Zone.

With This Ring: One of Paul's notable contributions to raising Earth's general technology level is providing Atlantis with a sample Dolmen Gate and getting them to mass-produce it. The gates operate in pairs, and essentially tell the universe that they're the same object, so if you walk through one gate, you come out the other, with absolutely no fanfare, as if you were passing through an ordinary door frame. Under his direction, Cadbury's obtains a number of them to make distribution channels faster and cheaper — and then, in the aftermath of the Sheeda invasion, with many standard types of transport having been heavily damaged, various other companies approach them to ask about renting the gates out.

Wonder Woman: Under Themyscira is a gate to Hades, at least in Post-Crisis continuity, in the Justice League cartoon and in Wonder Woman (Rebirth). Though just what dimension or pocket dimension Paradise Island/Themyscira is in has always been subject to the whims of the writers. The place has consitantly been host to and guardian of Doom's Doorway, a rift which leads to the outer realms of Hades and the Underworld, ever since the Post-Crisis Reboot.

In The Redemption of Althalus by David Eddings, the protagonists live in a house with as many rooms as they like, as large as they like (they occasionally have armies on the march through the corridors) and can open doors to literally anywhere on command. One of the protagonists attempt, out of curiosity, to open a door to "nowhere"—although they avert the attempt before they succeed, the concept is enough to freak out their patron goddess something fierce.

The Veil in the Department of Mysteries that claimed Sirius is an example of such a portal from Harry Potter. Maybe. It's in the Department of Mysteries because they're not really sure exactly how it works, except that no-one who passes through ever comes back. And the shade of Sirius is later able to be summoned by the Resurrection Stone.

In The Dresden Files, wizards and others practitioners of magic are able to open a hole into the Nevernever (usually the Land of Faerie, the region closest to the physical world), an alternate dimension where physics, geometry, and time don't always work the way they do here. The upside? Rapid transportation for wizards, especially since their magic makes mundane travel hard. The downside? The wizard has to hold it open, and even powerful wizards can only open small holes. It takes a very powerful wizard (Harry's caliber or so) to be able to open a crossing in more than a few places to begin with. And while the Ways are great for getting places, the Nevernever is also where most of the Eldritch Abominations live.

Played for laughs a lot of times in Mortadelo y Filemón, as the way the two agents often go to the T. I. A. headquarters -and expect someone attempting the same after both have entered, just to fail miserably.- Examples include them entering into a traffic signal by opening it, into the Sun one lifting the other as if it was just a window, and entering into an open coffin, complete with a corpse, in a funeral parlour.

The portal in Between Two Worlds doesn't look like much, because it's camouflaged. It only opens whan the moon is visible and where it leads exactly depends on the moon phase. But it will get you transported to another planet, which is pretty cool.

Ayakashi Triangle:
The shrine Matsuri and Suzu have hung out at since they were children has a mihashira torii, a gateway with three pillars, creating three different gateways. It's important enough that the gate is the only feature in Suzu's Mental World, where it symbolizes the ayakashi medium's spirit being split into three pieces.
Uraomiko can only be accessed by walking through seven torii gates (regular two-pillars one) in a specific order.

Homestuck Each game planet has seven gates, which teleport players to far-off regions of their planets and to other players' planets. There are also return nodes which, predicably, return the player to their house.

The Twilight Zone (1985): In "The Wall", a group of scientists were researching wormhole physics when a freak accident resulted in the creation of a portal, which is dubbed "the Gate" for lack of a better name. Four volunteers (2nd Lt. Emilio Perez, Sergeants Evelyn Marx and Glenn Sinclair and Captain Henry Kincaid) were sent through the Gate to determine what was on the other side but they failed to return. When the fifth volunteer, Major Alex McAndrews, goes through, he discovers that it leads to a Paradise Planet where the people live a simple, agrarian existence free of the social problems that plague Earth. The US government hopes to use the Gate in order to launch preemptive strikes on its enemies. Although the Gate is constantly visible on Earth, the refraction of light on the other planet means that it can only be seen at night.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim:
There's a portal to Sovngarde in an ancient ruin named Skuldafn. After you defeat Alduin the first time, he uses it to escape to Sovngarde and devour the souls of the dead to replenish his strength. Unfortunately it cannot be reached on foot, something Odahviing neglects to mention until you decide to keep him imprisoned until your return, upon which he quickly offers to fly you there in exchange for his freedom (and Alduin's permanent defeat).
In the Dawnguard DLC, Castle Volkihar houses a portal to the Soul Cairn in Valerica's Study. The Dragonborn and Serana travel there to acquire one of the Elder Scrolls detailing the Tyranny of the Sun prophecy.

In Civilization: Beyond Earth, the victory conditions for the Purity and Supremacy affinities involves building the Exodus and Emancipation Gate, respectively. They are so huge that they require a whole game cell to build. They look identical, except the Exodus Gate generates a red portal in which the energy appears to flow outward, while the Emancipation Gate flows inward and glows yellow. The former is used to bring in refugees from the building faction's territory on Earth to settle on the new world. The latter is used to send troops back to Earth to undergo Unwilling Roboticisation.

The Dark Portal from Warcraft, particularly on the Outland◊ side.
The warlock class can create demonic gates through which other party members can be summoned to the gate's location.
The mage class can create temporary portals to their respective side's capital cities, as well as the neutral cities added with the expansion packs.
The Death Knight class can create a Death Gate, the purpose of which is to allow easy access to Acherus: The Ebon Hold, their Class Order Hall.
There are also the portals to the Emerald Dream. Four portals in forested areas around Azeroth (Duskwood, Hinterlands, Feralas and Ashenvale), guarded by hostile dragons until the dragons were removed at the start of the Cataclysm expansion. The other side was not originally accessible in-game, but according to the lore it leads to another dimension that is what Azeroth would be without intelligent humanoid life of any kind, populated by myriad magical beasts. In the Legion expansion the portals opened up and were used by druids to access the Emerald Dreamway which connected to their Class Hall.
The Burning Legion actually needs to make huge and powerful magical portals to send their strongest to Azeroth.

Digimon Adventure:
The gate in Myotismon's castle is used in reverse: it doesn't take you to Magical Land but from it. (In fact, it can take you to any dimension so long as you know how to properly arrange the cards.)
In Digimon Adventure 02, any computer with a D3 Digivice held up to it. (The old-school digivice used by the original team could only access the Digital World from certain computers at certain times. If the gate closes, you're out of luck. The new kids can come and go at will, though.)

Tech Infantry has several types.
Jump Gates, immobile spaceborne structures that open up a portal to Hyperspace for ships that can't open up a jump point on their own.
Digital Gates, immobile spaceborne structures that scan an entering ship, convert it to pure energy, and beam that energy in the form of tachyons, to another digital gate in a distant star system, which re-converts the ship back into matter at the other end, for near-instantaneous interstellar travel.
Correspondence Portals, which certain Mages can create as a sort of magical emergency point-to-point teleportation system.
Transit Beacons, a weaponized military version of the Correspondence Portal, built into a starship, and used to teleport whole formations of soldiers at once down to the surface of a hostile planet.

The Stargate-verse. Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Stargate Universe, all four of 'em had the title gates be as cool as possible. While the details vary between gates, all of the gates activate with an unstable vortex that destroys anything in its path, before settling into a rippling event horizon with the appearance of standing water.
The original SG-1 gate◊ is the most iconic. Made of a nigh-indestructible stone-like material inscribed with a ring of constellations, at first glance it looks like a mysterious ancient construct along the lines of Stonehenge or the Easter Island heads. When given power however, the inner ring is able to spin, the chevrons light up, and the gate can be dialed like a rotary phone.
The Atlantis gate◊ is like a digital counterpart to the original gate's analogue. Just as indestructible as its predecessor, these gates don't spin at all. Instead, the spinning is replaced with the glyphs lighting up like LEDs, and the sound of stone grinding against stone is replaced with distinctly electronic humming. Additionally, unlike its Milky Way counterparts, many of these gates are in orbit around planets, requiring a ship capable of flying through the gate to traverse safely.
In stark contrast to the Atlantis gate is the Universe gate◊, the prototype to the Milky Way gates. These gates may not be as indestructible as its successors, but they're still just as cool. Instead of just an inner ring spinning, the entire gate spins, and instead of the more familiar watery blue event horizon of the other gates, this gate's event horizon is silver.
Last but certainly not least is the Supergate◊ from SG-1, an absolutely massive Stargate designed for use by starships. Since making these gates in one solid piece would be extremely impractical — especially in a new galaxy — it's instead build of individual segments sent through a standard Stargate which then assemble themselves in orbit. Due to the astronomical power requirement for these gates to function, they eschew any sort of traditional power source to draw energy directly from a nearby black hole.

Marvel Universe:
For a while the X-Men were the proud owners of the Siege Perilous (named for the Arthurian myth), a magical portal which shrunk down to handy portable size. Passing through it would reboot your life (and give you amnesia along the way).
There's a Shi'Ar Stargate at the edge of the solar system. Don't tell anyone, though, because using it can destabilize the Sun. The Shi'Ar also use smaller personal Gates.
The Fantastic Four withold the Forever Gate, a portal that takes anyone anywhere in space and time.
The Mighty Thor: In The Surtur Saga, capturing the warp-gate assembled by the Fire Demons at New York City became crucial for Asgardian and Earth forces in stopping the invasion of the Fire Demons, as it allows them to reach the Sahara Desert, where an even BIGGER warp-gate linking directly to Muspelheim is located and allows the endless Fire Demon hordes to pour forth.

Darkness Visible: Reality Thresholds are the driving force behind the plot. Venturers can tear holes in the fabric of reality with their bare hands and, if they're focusing properly, simultaneously open a second Threshold in another location, allowing them to step instantly between the two places. If they aren't focusing properly, bad things happen... Deliberately abusing Thresholds may lead to even worse things happening.

Deus, in Grrl Power, combined two pieces of alien/magical technology into something of a "reality cutter"; one of the pieces could do it already, but the combination allows the "cut" to be formed and guided better. After mounting the combination on a (powered) circular frame, an assistant accused him of having a rip-off Stargate; Deus just responds there's no patents on a circle. The first use is to go to a space station for a shopping trip.

John DeChancie's Castle Perilous: The titular cstle has 144,000 doors, each leading to an Alternate Universe, and they don't just wait for you to walk through—the portals wander, and actively seek out those who want to travel or get away. His Skyway series has "Tollbooths" (no doubt named as a Shout-Out to The Phantom Tollbooth) which use miles-tall columns of virtual particles to create wormholes linking a vast Road across thousands of planetary surfaces.

EV Nova has a network of Lost Technology hypergates that serve as a Warp Whistle of sorts. Once you get a license to use them via the Sigma Shipyards questline, they allow you to travel between certain star systems instantaneously, whereas using your hyperdrive causes the In-Universe Game Clock to increment between 1 and 3 days depending on your ship's mass. A smart player will memorize the hypergate network, as it's sometimes the only way to get rush jobs done by the deadline.

The Legend of Zelda:
The Door of Time in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is not a portal to the Sacred Realm, but it does bar access to the Master Sword, which in itself acts as the final key to the Sacred Realm. Because Link is too young to fulfill his destiny when he first draws the Master Sword, he is kept in stasis in the Temple of Light within the Sacred Realm, allowing Ganondorf to enter the Sacred Realm and attempt to seize the Triforce unopposed. Functionally, however, Link uses the Master Sword to travel between the past and the future by placing or removing it from the Pedestal of Time.
The Mirror of Twilight, a gate to the Twilight Realm in Twilight Princess. By the time Link and Midna find it, however, Zant has already broken it into four pieces, and the duo have to retrieve the three missing pieces before they can travel to the Twilight Realm. Midna shatters the Mirror completely during the epilogue, completely sealing off the Light World and the Twilight Realm from each other forever.
There's also the door to the past in the Sacred Grove. Passing through the door sends Link to the Temple of Time from back when it wasn't a forgotten, nameless ruin.
The Gate of Time in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. After Impa and Zelda use the first gate to travel to the past, Impa destroys it to ensure Ghirahim cannot follow them. Link then has to reforge the Goddess Sword into the Master Sword in order to awaken the second gate and reunite with Zelda. Once the Imprisoned is destroyed and Zelda awakens in the present, Ghirahim interrupts the reunion, kidnaps her and uses the gate to travel to the past, where his master still lives, so he can restore his power by sacrificing Zelda.

The Young Wizards series has "world gates", small patches of space-time only visible to wizards, which occur naturally but can also be created by magic or very advanced technology. Though wizards can teleport without world gates, using a gate requires much less energy, especially for trips that are measured in light-years. On Earth world gate complexes are maintained by teams of cat wizards, since cats are the only Earth species which is naturally capable of seeing the string structures which the gates are made from.

It's a fairly big plot point that the Citadel in Mass Effect is one of these, linking the known galaxy to wherever the Reapers are. When a group of Prothean scientists who survived the extinction of their people learned about this, they altered the signal that Sovereign, the Reapers' vanguard, used to command the Citadel's keepers, preventing him from opening the Citadel in the current cycle and forcing him to attempt to open it manually by attacking the Citadel with a Geth fleet.

Star Trek:
Star Trek: The Original Series:
Episode "Assignment Earth". Gary Seven's "mist gate" transporter.
"The City on the Edge of Forever": The Guardian of Forever is a sentient stone ring that can send people anywhere and anywhen.
The Iconian doorway from Star Trek: The Next Generation has no apparent limitation to range, and at times opened to the Enterprise-D and the Romulan ship also in orbit.
The Iconian doorway reappeared the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "To the Death", under control of a rogue Jem'Hadar faction. The gateway connects to an instantaneous Portal Network that had allowed the Iconians to rule an empire 200k years ago, so the danger of the Jem'Hadar getting control of it is even more pronounced as a result.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine takes place on a space station near a stable wormhole that connects two different parts of the galaxy.

Inverted in Galactic Civilizations. Star Gates were once used for interstellar travel, but they suppressed exploration of other parts of the galaxy because they could only move ships between any two of them, plus it took quite a while for them to transport ships. The rise of Humanity gave rise to Hyper Drive, which allowed ships to travel great distances on their own, rendering the Star Gates obsolete and setting the stage for the game's plot.

In Transformers: Prime the GroundBridge and its big brother SpaceBridges function as long-distance (in the latter case, at least interplanetary) transport gates, with the space "in between" being spacious enough to fight in.
The Space Bridge has been seen in many Transformers series - never the same in any two versions, but pretty darned cool in all of them! Depending on the version, sometimes you only need a device on the "sending" end and can target it anywhere, but sometimes you need a device at both ends. There are also versions where they're part of a Portal Network similar to the Stargate-verse's gates, only visible when in use and no hardware ever seen; sometimes bots seem to summon portals out of nowhere but are unable to do it to a place that 'doesn't have a space bridge.'

Earth & Beyond had a few varieties of gates. Ancient Gates, which according to some in-game material may have been sentient, and could send a ship as far as 100,000 light years. Reverse engineered InfinityGates, far less powerful with only a few light year range. And the singular Tada-O Gate, also reverse engineered from the Ancient Gates, but thought to connect to another galaxy... oops.

The main antagonists of the fourth movie attempt to lure Ichigo to Hell by kidnapping Yuzu so that they can force him to use his Hollowfication to destroy the Gates of Hell, expecting that they will be able to escape permanently afterwards. After Ichigo defeats their leader, Kokuto reveals that destroying the Gates is pointless, as what really binds the sinners to Hell is the unbreakable chains embedded to them. When Ichigo ends up actually destroying the Gates after giving in to his Inner Hollow in the ensuing fight, the end result is that Hell's miasma begins leaking to the World of the Living, and the Gotei 13 scramble to contain the damage until the Gates repair themselves by the end of the movie.

The Wheel of Time has them in at least three flavors:
The redstone doorways look like empty doorframes, but walking through one will transport you to a dimension populated by weird aliens who see the future or grant wishes.
The Waygates, built of finely carved white stone and having nice reflection visual effect, which lead to a place where the distance between the Gates is less than outside
The One Power-created Gateways for Skimming (travel via subspace) and Traveling (instant teleportation).
There are also Portal Stones, which are Exactly What It Says on the Tin. They link not only to other portal stones in the world, but also to Portal Stones in Parallel worlds. Very handy, if not well understood at all.

Dungeon Crawler Carl: Carl comes across references to the Gate of the Feral Gods while fighting his way through the fifth floor. It can open a portal through the Nothing to anywhere the user can work out the coordinates for, but as the portal closes, a feral god will emerge from one end (depending on how precisely it's set up). Mordecai dismisses it as pointless, since it still won't allow them to travel to a later floor (it can open a portal, but it's impossible for crawlers to enter it), and then the feral god will likely kill them. Carl, on the other hand, starts getting ideas. First, he hands it off to different crawlers so that they can escape the "bubbles" that have them trapped. A feral god is left behind in each bubble, but since they can't escape, that's fine. Then he publicly makes plans to drop a feral god on some army fortifications on the Ninth Floor, which will cause a lot of damage and cost his enemies money but not much else. Then what he actually does is flood an NPC city with shark-infested water, killing all the merchants who would sell to the hunters who would be killing crawlers, and keeps the Gate to use later. It's mentioned several times that the Gate is a huge Game-Breaker that tripped all sorts of balance checks and warnings by showing up so early; normally something like this wouldn't show up until the tenth floor at the earliest.

Initially Time Gates (in Ultima ][, directly inspired by Time Bandits), they quickly became associated with the phases of the moon, and then got increasingly complicated as blue, red, and black moongates were introduced.

The Elder Scrolls:
The Psijic Order, a powerful Magical Society and the oldest monastic order in Tamriel, has the "Dreaming Cave" on their home island of Artaeum. The Dreaming Cave is a portal to Oblivion and allows for communicating with the Daedric Princes.
The Oblivion Gates from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which let Daedra out of the gate's titular dimension. Note that they are shaped like the rune on the box art, which is the letter "O" in Daedric.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim:
There's a portal to Sovngarde in an ancient ruin named Skuldafn. After you defeat Alduin the first time, he uses it to escape to Sovngarde and devour the souls of the dead to replenish his strength. Unfortunately it cannot be reached on foot, something Odahviing neglects to mention until you decide to keep him imprisoned until your return, upon which he quickly offers to fly you there in exchange for his freedom (and Alduin's permanent defeat).
In the Dawnguard DLC, Castle Volkihar houses a portal to the Soul Cairn in Valerica's Study. The Dragonborn and Serana travel there to acquire one of the Elder Scrolls detailing the Tyranny of the Sun prophecy.

The DCU:
Wonder Woman: Under Themyscira is a gate to Hades, at least in Post-Crisis continuity, in the Justice League cartoon and in Wonder Woman (Rebirth). Though just what dimension or pocket dimension Paradise Island/Themyscira is in has always been subject to the whims of the writers. The place has consitantly been host to and guardian of Doom's Doorway, a rift which leads to the outer realms of Hades and the Underworld, ever since the Post-Crisis Reboot.
JLA (1997) has Portal Gates at certain times that seemed to link the JLA moonbase to a few key locations. Not used very often (at least "on screen").
In the Star Wars comics, they introduce the Infinity Gates built by the Kwa using the technology of the Celestials. Apparently, there was a network that allowed instantaneous travel nearly anywhere in the galaxy. Oh and for added fun, they could be used as devastating superweapons, projecting Infinity Waves which destroyed all life and matter at the target and made hyperspace travel impossible in its vicinity.
Boom Tubes in the New Gods mythos. They can be summoned anywhere with a Mother Box computer, and are in general used by the Gods on a regular basis.
Dimensional portals show up quite frequently in Supergirl stories:
In Demon Spawn, villainous sorceress Nightflame opens a dimensional rift to travel from her universe to the physical world.
The Supergirl from Krypton (2004): Supergirl's rescue party use a mother box to reach Apokolips, and later Superman uses another to go from the Sun to the Wall Source.
In Supergirl (1972) issue #5 a villain uses a dimensional gate resembling a normal door to drag the Girl of Steel in another dimension.
In Good Looking Corpse, a group of villains use portals to find and harass heroes.
In the beginning of Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade's Grand Finale, a glowing space-time vortex opens in Linda and Lena's dorm, and an alternate Supergirl flies out of it.
In Strangers at the Heart's Core, a glowing, golden rift in the fabric of the reality lets Kryptonian villain Shyla Kor-Onn get out of the Phantom Zone and fly into the physical world.
In Escape from the Phantom Zone, the Tycho Eidolon device generates a dimensional portal shaped as a glowing energy sphere which drags everything surrounding it into the Phantom Zone.
Superman:
In Kryptonite Nevermore, Quarrm's life-forms slip in Earth through several translucent "holes" in the air.
In The Phantom Zone, Superman and Quex-Ul go through several dimensional portals during their journey: an energy wall surrounding the Phantom Zone, a sun which works as a gate when it is glowing yellow, a whirlpool, the flames of a hearth...
Worlds Finest 1941: In issue #198, Superman and Flash find a glowing, golden rift in the black void of space as fleeing from an exploding super-nova, fly into it and land on a strange world which orbits around a doughnut-shaped sun.
In Superman/Masters of the Universe crossover "From Eternia— With Death!", Kal-El runs into a strange storm cloud which his X-Ray Vision cannot pierce through. Suddenly, he is pulled into the cloud by some irresistible force, and thrown out into the parallel world of Eternia.

Comically averted in the 7th installment of the Touhou Project series (Touhou Youyoumu ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom): at the end of the 4th stage, the playable character Marisa Kirisame comes across a giant gate at the entrance to the Netherworld; she notices that the gate is magically sealed, and states that a novice magician such as herself wouldn't be able to open it. Then, she is greeted by three ghost musician sisters, and finds out that they were invited for a celebratory musical performance into the Netherworld and are able to enter and leave it at will. Marisa then demands that they open the gate for her, and the three of them fight her. After the ghost musicians are defeated, Marisa tells them to open the gate, and the ghosts say that the gate won't open. Marisa then asks how they enter and leave the Netherworld at will, only to hear that they fly above it.

Warhammer 40,000 Expanded Universe:
In Dan Abnett's Gaunt's Ghosts novel His Last Command, Chaos warp gates open up in boulders to let out monsters. When Maggs is thrown through one, and Mkoll jumps after him, they find a frigid, impossible landscape with the stars all wrong and blocks of stone floating in the sky. They stagger to another gate, which lands them at the foot of another boulder, both of them covered with frost (on the other side, they communicate back through the vox, though it finds them both out of range and within ten kilometers at once).
In the Horus Heresy novels The Unremembered Empire and Pharos, the Pharos device can connect two locations directly via quantum entanglement. While it primarily functions as a Subspace Ansible, it can also be used to instantly transport people from one planet to another, and is even used to save several characters from Konrad Curze.
The door in Dan Abnett's Ravenor, a plain wooden door that opens through space and time. Originally, it used by special trained operators, to let the questions of those who came to them direct it; when the house was broken, Ravenor operated it to put his powerful psionic abilities into play.
In Lee Lightner's Space Wolf novel Sons of Fenris, Cadmus's Blood Magic lets him open a portal to a Chaos Space Marine.
In Wolf's Honour, they conclude that the entire planet is riddled with gates, allowing the Chaos Space Marines to invade at will.
In Graham McNeill's Ultramarines novel Dead Sky Black Sun, when Sergeant Ellard confesses to having actually seen the rumored daemon on a battle field, he explains that in the end, it summoned up a black gate and vanished into it.

He founded the Loyal Order of Corn and encouraged the development of radio and television so that human technology would be advanced enough to build another tachyon portal so that he could return home. While investigating the portal, Marshall and Dash X accidentally send Simon to an ice planet.

The Door of Time in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is not a portal to the Sacred Realm, but it does bar access to the Master Sword, which in itself acts as the final key to the Sacred Realm. Because Link is too young to fulfill his destiny when he first draws the Master Sword, he is kept in stasis in the Temple of Light within the Sacred Realm, allowing Ganondorf to enter the Sacred Realm and attempt to seize the Triforce unopposed. Functionally, however, Link uses the Master Sword to travel between the past and the future by placing or removing it from the Pedestal of Time.

In the Deryni novels, the Deryni can use "Transfer Portals" to travel instantly from one place to another. However, there are several drawbacks to Portals: it takes a lot of power to create one; you have to know the 'signature' of the Portal you want before you can travel to it, which means visiting it mundanely first; their positions are fixed, so you can't travel to someplace that doesn't have an existing Portal; and Portals can be "trapped", so that once you transfer to it, you can't leave again until someone with the key comes along and releases you.

Associated Space uses Catapult Points for interstellar travel. These are giant metal circles placed in orbit around a sun, which gives the devices the immense amount of power necessary to use the things. Once a ship goes into the circle, the gate activates, creating an effect that zaps the ship to another star system, which catches you with similar catapult point, using its immense power to disrupt the effect.

One means of getting around in the endless world of The Neverending Story is The Temple of a Thousand Doors (Der Tausend-Türen-Tempel) which contains an infinite number of hexagon-shaped rooms with three doors each. Every door different in colour, shape, material etc. To get to the place you wish to go, you only need to pass through the rooms until you find the door that reminds you strongest of the thing/place/person you're looking for. This may take some time.

Age of Mythology has a whole bundle of them—the adamantine, gods-can't-break-'em Gates of Tartarus alone are worthy of mention. There's also:
The gates of Troy (duh), which are as close to magically-indestructible as mortals can get.
The even more almost-indestructible Atlantean Gate, made of green granite or something.
The cavernous Underworld Passage that Apollo allows you to summon in-game
The strip-mined entrance to Erebus constructed by Gargarensis in Iolchis
The folding staircase over nothingness leading out of Erebus that Zeus summons to save Arkantos
The Well of Urd, also an entrance to Erebus
The Sky Passages that Oranos uses to get his followers from place to place
The hellhound-sized Tartarus entrance that Hekate summons to release her little minions—shaped like a skull
And the various entryways the Titans use when you summon them. Cerberus, Ymir, and the Atlantean rock-thing (Typhon) all have big pit/mound shafts that collapse behind them, but Horus requires you to build him a god-sized landing platform, appropriately decorated, of course.

Chrono Trigger's aptly-named Gates, which the protagonists regularly use to travel through different time periods. The kicker is that each set of gates can only send them through two specific points in time, always arriving at the same physical location. Because they are too unstable for just anyone to use, Lucca creates the Gate Key to "lock" them in place, allowing the party to use them safely. Using an unstable gate, willingly or not, can send the user into a random period of time, even if a gate hasn't opened yet at the destination. Magus is able to seal one of the gates to keep the party out of his way while posing as the Prophet in 12,000 B.C., and the Epoch allows them to travel through time without the gates. Once Lavos is destroyed, the gates weaken and eventually close.

As of Beta 1.9Pre4, End Portals are also available. These are even more difficult to find since they are only found in strongholds and only 128 of those spawn on the entire map. Also, the Enderdragon is on the other side of End portal.
As of 1.9, after you kill the Enderdragon, yet another Cool Gate spawns in the sky. There is no way to enter it without using an ender pearl, and if you do enter it, you are taken about a kilometre away from the central Floating Continent in the End, where you find endless seas of islands with purple trees and strange castles, sometimes with a Cool Airship docked at them.

Achron's teleporters and chronoporters (that facilitate mass teleportation and mass time travel respectively) look like cool spinning stargates. Which is a bit unnecessary since no unit actually walks through them.

In Digimon Adventure 02, any computer with a D3 Digivice held up to it. (The old-school digivice used by the original team could only access the Digital World from certain computers at certain times. If the gate closes, you're out of luck. The new kids can come and go at will, though.)

The Arkonians of The Crystal Key used simple arches activated by the titular key to provide direct transport between their colony planets. The number of places you can go is determined by the number of "planes" attached to the key. They recently perfected the ability to design portable portals as well, from small remote-controlled ones you can carry around - and which go with you when used, to huge rods mounted on spaceships, which the Arkonians used to deter the malevolent psychic warlord, Ozgar.

The Power of Five: The Gates that keep the Old Ones at bay are kinda cool, once you look past how terrifying the entire concept is.
On a considerably less scary note, there are also the 25 doors with blue star symbols which allow the Five and up to one other each to travel to any one of their choosing.

The Sandman (1989) has several magic gates. Each of the Endless has a gallery which they use to talk and visit each other's realms. In the real world, any labyrinth can be used as a gate to Destiny's realm. Destruction creates a gate (with an appropriate big explosion) that Orpheus uses to visit Death's realm. Dream's realm has an ornately carved big gate at the front which dreams pass through.

In all six of the others, Gates are needed to get the main characters from the "real" world to Narnia: the titular wardrobe in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, the Portal Pools in the Wood Between the Worlds in The Magician's Nephew, the door to the Telmarines' original home at the end of Prince Caspian, the Portal Picture in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the door that normally led to the open moor in The Silver Chair, and the door that normally led to the stable in The Last Battle.

In the Monsters, Inc. movies, when activated, the doors connect the monster's world to children's bedrooms throughout the human world. When inactive, they are ordinary doors connecting the bedrooms to closets, etc. That is why the monster is never there when your parents open the door to check.

The Ultima series had Moongates, which got cooler and cooler each game up to the 9th. Drop a pebble in a ring of standing stones, and with a clap of thunder a bright, shimmering indigo gate springs from the ground.
Initially Time Gates (in Ultima ][, directly inspired by Time Bandits), they quickly became associated with the phases of the moon, and then got increasingly complicated as blue, red, and black moongates were introduced.

The original Doom has the Phobos and Deimos anomalies, two ancient, connected portals discovered on each of the Martian moons. Unfortunately for the researches studying the anomalies, they work by teleporting matter straight through Hell. When an experiment goes out of control, Deimos is pulled completely through its anomaly and ends up drifting above Hell, forcing the Space Marine to use the Phobos Anomaly to reach it. The anomalies also serve as the basis of the in-game teleporters, which work like a Portal Network and, if the player's not careful, can lead to the trope-naming Tele-Frag.
The Continuity Reboot sequel Doom 3 changes the story to remove Phobos and Deimos. Instead, the portals that cause all the current trouble were built by the UAC colonists and based on the Martian civilization's ancient schematics (the schematics were actually meant as a warning, but the scientists missed the fine print). The original ancient portal that doomed the Martians does become a plot point late in the game as, once the human portals have been shut down and the Demonic Invaders seemingly stopped, they blast open the original Martian portal instead.

While not shaped like gates in the conventional sense, every Pantheon in Scion has an Axis Mundi, something that links that Pantheon's Godrealm to the World that's tied to their myth or their people's culture. As examples, the Aesir use Yggdrasil to get between Asgard and any ash tree on Earth, while the Amatsukami use the Pillar of Heaven to get into the Overworld from anywhere that Japanese culture is strong.

City of Heroes, being filled with superhero tropes, has a generous number of these- from Portal Corps' eponymous portals (which are huge, glowing, have moving bits, and are bloody loud) to the fairy ring portals into the spirit world, to the annoyingly random portals throughout the mystic lost city of Oranbega. It's got something for everyone.

The Iconian doorway from Star Trek: The Next Generation has no apparent limitation to range, and at times opened to the Enterprise-D and the Romulan ship also in orbit.
