Do any of you guys have a door in your lineup? This area from the arcade to High Speed is the designated, wife approved pinball space. I have a large door that I can't block in the middle. For those of you with a similar setup, do you decorate the door? What would you guys recommend?
20200126_170656 (resized).jpgQuoted from Lathroum:I have door in my game room... I decorated it with an Employee Only sign... went with the REAL Arcade feel...
I like this idea
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:What the ?! Is that your furnace entry or something ?
The left door is my water shutoff. The middle two doors are a closet, and the right door is the access to the main sewer line.
I think a pinball playfield attached to the door would look pretty awesome. Or Arcade marquees. I also like the employees only sign.
Quoted from MikeS:I have a poster on my door but it is primarily decorated with a pinball machine that is blocking it. Lol... I have space issues! I just need to stay trim enough to be able to squeeze by.

Search Ebay for movie poster size.

Quoted from gweempose:My widebody Gottliebs block FOUR doors ... [quoted image]
Most people don't even own a widebody. Yet you have an entire collection of just GOTTLIEB widebodies.

I have 7 ss widebodys and 1 dmd
Quoted from LTG:I have a door in the way on the back wall. Could easily get a game there.
Fire marshal has an attitude about blocking a fire exit. I pointed out if someone has a good game going, they aren't leaving anyway. Even in a fire.
He wouldn't change his mind.

Lol...that’s funny!
Quoted from Rager170:Where did you get that King of Kong poster?? Ive been looking for one for years but only see them in very small sizes..
I've had the poster forever and honestly forgot where I got it from. I just did a quick search through my email found that I won it from a local magazine contest 12 years ago! I had seen it at the Madison Film festival that year.
kingofKong (resized).pngI have at least four windows blocked and that's just on one wall, and another one "blocked" with a stained glass. As for doors, there not blocked but they are decorated and still functional, space is at a premium so I do what I can. In some cases I like to have the door's hidden so that you don't even know they are there, can you find them?

Just make sure you have a Twilight Zone pin on the other side of the door, so you can cross over into...

Put the name of the film followed by “27 40”
That will get you one sheet size posters

Do you put pinball parts/accessories in the doors?
Quoted from Daditude:Do you put pinball parts/accessories in the doors?
Yes, I did this on one door. Made a door handle out of a Bally shooter rod, works great.

Theme your door. Search door decals.
Maybe an airlock or something like that.

Definitely go with "airlock" if it's the door to a bathroom.
This is pretty cool.

Well lucky you! Its been literally impossible to find for years. Rare item it seems..
Quoted from Doctor6:Some of these pics remind me of instragram models disguising selfies while "talking about something else."

Wonder if they make a Beetlejuice Draw a Door decal?
One door has a full size decal, the other side has my high scoreboard.
Other door has EM arcade flyers printed from the flyer archive.

Kinda like a six-foot mirror blade. It would make it look like you have a whole 'nother gameroom on the other side of the wall.
I'm getting all envious now going through here. I need to document the areas I play. Most are public. I would really like to open something special in oc ca someday.
My dream would be a hotel, plus arcade. The Bodak hotel...
You would stay at my hotel when you come to Los Angeles or Disneyland. I will open it, and die trying to perfect it.
See you there. In ten years.

You're high score board is still missing a "Jeff Z" next to World Cup. 
So between this thread, and some Binge watching, I am redoing my room with doors....
