English Vocabulary in Use Advanced by Michael McCarthy Felicity

Window, both literally and metaphorically, means an opening.

window of opportunity is a chance to do something special: If you see a window of opportunity
then take advantage of it.
If a quality or idea 
goes out (of) the window, it means it departs: Once the boys started going 
around together, common sense 
went out of the window.
As a very tall building, 
tower conveys an idea of distance from ordinary people. If someone lives in 
an 
ivory tower, he/she does not know about the unpleasant and ordinary things that happen in life: 
Academics are often criticised for living in their 
ivory towers.
If a person is a 
tower of strength, they are extremely strong (in an emotional rather than a physical 
sense): Our friends were a 
tower of strength when our house burnt down.
If a person or thing 
towers above something or someone, they are either outstandingly tall or 
outstanding in some other positive way: Lauren 
towers above all her classmates, although she is 
actually one of the youngest students.
Entrances
Gateway is used metaphorically in the 
phrase 
be a gateway to, meaning give an 
opportunity to get somewhere: A degree in 
law is a 
gateway to a well-paid job.
Door can also be used in a similar way to 
gateway above, but it is also used in many 
other metaphorical phrases as well: Failing 
his final exams 
closed/shut a lot of doors 
for him. Knowing several languages 
opens 
doors when it comes to finding work. The 
new year gives us the opportunity to 
close 
the door on the past and make a fresh start.
Doing something 
through/by the back door 
suggests doing it unofficially: Jack came into 
the business
