* According to leaks and datamining, a previous version of the Baroness was designed more like a randomized labyrinth in which players had to find the exit door.

* The Doorman was one of the heroes in a private build who was accidentally leaked on stream in May 2025.

* The Doorman~~'s Doorway ability summons~~ one ~~orange portal and one blue portal, similar to~~ Valve's ~~game~~ [[wikipedia:Portal_(video_game)|''Portal'']].

* The Doorman contains several references to another one of Valve's games, [[wikipedia:Portal_(video_game)|''Portal'']], a first person puzzle game in which the player has access to a device that can open connected pairs of blue and orange portals on surfaces.

* ~~Similarly~~, his [[:~~File~~:~~The Doorman Render.png|dash animation~~]~~] potentially references~~ the [https://theportalwiki.com/wiki/File:Portal2.png Portal ~~series~~ logo].

** His Doorway ability functions almost identically to the aforementioned portals, and shares the same blue and orange color scheme. Additionally, the sound effects for placing the doors are very similar to corresponding sound effects from the ''Portal'' series.

***The same blue and orange color scheme can also be seen on the small doors in his reload animation and the different colors for his Luggage Cart.

**The Doorman often strikes an exaggerated, highly angular running pose that bears a strong resemblance to the "running stick figure" iconography seen commonly throughout the ''Portal'' series, such as on the [https://theportalwiki.com/wiki/Category:Chamber_info_icons test chamber infographics] or the [https://theportalwiki.com/wiki/File:Portal2.png Portal 2 logo]. This pose can be seen in his [[:File:The Doorman Render.png|character render]], his dash animation, and when placing one of his Doorways.

*The Doorman's model/animations were likely developed using {{HeroIcon|Mirage}} as a base due to both characters having a similar build and one-handed weapon stance. This is more easily seen in [https://youtu.be/IjMCKfP7qow?t=2699 older footage] from shortly after his release, where he directly used Mirage's heavy melee animation.

* According to developer [[Kaori (developer)|Kaori]], the Doorman's voice actor is a stage actor on his first video game role.<ref>2025-08-19 - [[Kaori (developer)|Kaori]]; Deadlock Discord - ''"[Doorman's voice is a] stage actor, this is his first video game"''</ref>

* "At Your Service in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as The Doorman in the [[Hideout]].
