The easiest way to control a port cullis is to make your port cullis wider than the entrance it guards. Then create a groove that is the same width as the port cullis in the walls where it will ride. That way the port cullis only has two options in where it goes: up or down.

Sort of like how a floppy disk goes into a floppy drive.

Please don't call me An-twan. An-twan is not my name. If you were to address me by An-twan, you would be incorrect, for An-twan is not my name. However, if you were to address me as Anthony, you would be correct, for Anthony is my name, and the name to address me by is Anthony. The name An-twan does not register with me, for it is not the name given to me. My name has never been An-twan, and An-twan will never be my name. Anthony is the proper name to address me by, so the name you should address me by is Anthony. Given that my name is Anthony, there is only one name that you should address me by, which is Anthony, for that is the name that was given to me, so it is the name by which I should be addressed, again, which is Anthony.

Two Anthonys is not the number of Anthonys there shall be, nor shall there by three. Five is right out.
