The West-gate, refers to the Doors of Durin, on the west side of [[Khazad-dum]].  It was built by the great Dwarf mason [[Narvi]], along with his Elf friend [[Celebrimbor]] in the [[Second Age]].
#REDIRECT [[Doors of Durin]]
 
After the Dwarves had been driven out by [[Durin's Bane]] in 1981 of the [[Third Age]] , it was not used for hundreds of years, until the colony of Dwarves by [[Balin]], arrived in 2989, which secured the gate from the [[Goblins]] that lurked in Moria.  Unknown to the Dwarves, a creature called the [[Watcher in the Water]] lurked in the lake in front of the gate.  It killed [[Oin]], who was one of the thirteen Dwarves who went on the [[Quest of Erebor]].  After five years the Dwarf colony was destoyed, and was not used for fifty years when [[Fellowship of the Ring]] used it to get to the East side of the [[Misty Mountains]].  The gate was later destoyed by the Watcher as it pulled the doors down to crush the Fellowship.
