That and the effect from locking the door is instant, while the floodgates have to wait for a lever to be pulled, and then there's the delay you get unless you use *mechanism*s.
And again, floodgates have to be built separately and hauled instead of built in place.

Hmm, you are right. If you think it through fully, a gate-structure would probably be pretty handy.

...you know, it could be like a gate...

Dwarves use  massive fortified doors. So in a blacksmith, you should be able to forge 4 parts for door - hinges and screws, then use metal bars - of your choice, to create a 1x3 to 1x7 size door, with each increase in length requiring another bar. It would NOT be destroyable in the current sense. Instead It would take massive amounts of damage. Or just indestructible. To open the door, you either need several dwarfs assigned to do it ( fuse this with pumping for a major laborer classification?) or several mechanisms and power. The end result: A door gate that allows you comfort and coolness.

Props if it can be more than one z level!
