Elevator Doors?

Hi, I'm working on a new base and it's simular to how the Fantastic Four have their main portion of the base on the top floor of the Baxter Building. So I was wanting to place elevator doors behind the portal entrance, but so far everything I've tried haven't really jumped out at me.

So far the only thing that I somewhat like is putting 6 Modern Picture Frames together. It works, but not really what I was going for, does anyone have any suggestions?

Placed right, White Wall Cabinets can look like anything from elevator doors to a refrigerator set into the wall itself, I've found.

Ended up going with this for now. I like it, but not sure they're big enough.

I would make them wider (at least 50%, possibly up to double the current width), and bring them closer to the front. Though if you are going for more of a large old-style office building having them recessed that far does work. Also, it appears that they are suspended above the floor, which is a bit distracting for me.

If the floor there is not bottomed out (or if you can raise it anyway), one trick you might try is to move floor safes over to serve as a dark line sticking just a little out of the floor and have the elevator doors imbeded in them, just a hair behind - that should give an illusion that the doors are fitted into a gap. It may not fit that way, though - I am thinking the safe may be too much closer to the edge of its bounding box compared to the cabinets and thus may look more like a wide black stripe in front of the doors. Easy way to check that is to see how close you can get a cabinet edge to the edge of a safe (either front/back or side, as the fit is slightly different by orientation). If it's close, this should work.
