The entry lock includes a door opening, first and second doors spaced apart from each other and adapted to swing together about a common axis positioned at a side of the door opening into alternate register with the door opening, and a third door hingedly attached approximate the outside edge of the first or second door and latched approximate the outside edge of the other of the first or second doors forming a confined area or enclosure large enough to accomodate a human. The enclosure is formed by the third door in conjunction with the first and second doors.
