I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it's used by entrants to put' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'screen back' is the wordplay.
'screen' becomes 'rood screen' (rood screen is a kind of screen).
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'rood' in reverse letter order is 'DOOR'.

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for door that I've seen before include "Threshold" , "Entrance way" , "Barrier to open and close" , "Swinging barrier" , "Jim Morrison?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
