Thanks. Variations of interlock(ing) door and door interlock seem to be what the manufacturers of such systems use.

turnstile (baffle gate?)

Explanation:
The common English term for this type of system.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnstile
Wikipedia suggests an alternative :"baffle gate".
This may be a more technical term but I am not familiar with this.
Compare images of "Personenvereinzelungsanlage" on google with turnstile on Wikipedia.

Deadman Door Locks

* This system uses a pair of doors, between which is a holding area.
* For the inside door to operate, the outside door must lock and close, with only the authorized person within the holding area.
* This can reduce the risk of piggybacking, where an unauthorized person follows a authorized person into a restricted area.
* Similar to the airlocks present in spacecraft.

A deadman door is a set of two doors. The idea is that only one person can enter at a time; the outer door must shut before the inner door will open.

A monitored double-doorway entry system, also referred to as a mantrap or deadman door, is used as a deterrent control for the vulnerability of piggybacking.
