History Main / NoEntrance

* ''Videogame/Fallout4'': Despite most of the Commonwealth looking for signs of one for decades, an entrance to The Institute was never found, and the only remnants of the original Commonwealth Institute of Technology are bombed-out ruins. [[spoiler:That's because The Institute ''has'' no physical entrances. Getting in requires teleporting in and out several hundred feet below ground.]]

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'': Academy City's Windowless Building can only be entered by a specially trained teleporter, as it's armored against attacks. Although, a few breaches do happen.

* ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'': In "Tree House", Drake, Josh, and Megan are tasked with rebuilding a neighbour kid's tree house after they accidentally blew it up with a rocket. The duo manage to complete the tree house, except Drake forgot to cut out an entrance in one of the walls and leaving the saw outside trapping them inside, with a pissed off Megan torturing them on the outside because they made her miss her friend's birthday party.

* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda: VideoGame/ALinkToThePast'': The Swamp of Evil, which houses the Misery Mire dungeon, is completely blocked off from the rest of the Dark World by impassable barriers, with a sign warning Link that there is no way in and no way out. [[spoiler: Within the limits of the Dark World, it is indeed completely unreachable. However, Link is able to get in by traveling to the Desert of Mystery -the swamp's Light World counterpart- and finding a portal between the worlds there that crosses into the swamp]].

* The [[HigherTechSpecies Protoss]] of ''Videogame/{{Starcraft}}'' use teleportation incredibly casually. While most of their structures have entrances, their warzone-deployed structures specifically lacks them: It keeps the Khalai caste workers safe from internal sabotage and infiltration, meaning that the only two ways to disable the building are to destroy it or cut the power. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation Not that there is any sort of infiltration play in the actual gameplay for any of the three races.]]
* ''VideoGame/TwilightPrincess'': The Gerudo Desert is accessible only via [[CatapultToGlory Oocca cannon]], and once inside, can only be exited by warping away. Although Auru does mention that there was a road there that's been cut off.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'': The Jedi Temple on Lothal has no apparent entrance and looks more like a strange rock outcropping than a building until approached and opened by a Jedi apprentice and their master. If they lose focus while inside the entrance(s) will be hidden and it will take both of them to open it again, explaining the several dead knights and masters in the foyer.

To use any sort of structure, every being on Earth needs it to have an entrance, and so do most things in fictionland - Whether it be rabbit holes, anthills, dragon caves, skyscrapers, a space station, or just about any other structure, all have entrances to facilitate their use.

* The [[HigherTechSpecies Protoss]] of ''Videogame/{{Starcraft}}'' use teleportation incredibly casually. While most of their structures have entrances, their warzone-deployed structures specifically lacks them: It keeps the [[CreationTropes Khalai caste workers]] safe from internal sabotage and infiltration, meaning that the only two ways to disable the building is to destroy it, or cut the power. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation Not that there is any sort of infiltration play in the actual gameplay for any of the three races.]]

* The Tangean Overworlders of ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'' take their name from the fact that they have {{Intangibility}} as a species trait, and thus they simply walk through the wall of any building they mean to enter. They see this as inheirent proof that they're BlueBlood, and [[FantasticRacism anyone who doesn't know how to enter a building is just not worth associating with]], whether they be [[PowerNullifier Tangean Grounders]] or just outright aliens.

* ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'': The Tower of Ghenjei is a seamless 200-foot-high column from the [[TheBeforetimes Age of Legends]], now used only as a landmark. The main characters eventually work out that it "opens" into the [[AnotherDimension world of the Aelfinn and Eelfinn]] when a particular symbol is drawn on its side with a bronze dagger.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'': The Jedi Temple on Lothal - it has no apparent entrance and looks more like a strange rock outcropping than a building until approached and opened by a Jedi apprentice and their master. If they lose focus while inside the entrance(s) will be hidden and it will take both of them to open it again, explaining the several dead knights and masters in the foyer.

** In ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', the door to the mines of Moria is decorated with mithril, which only reflects moonlight and starlight, leaving the door invisible during the day (and on cloudy nights).

* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'': In "Truth Or Cosmoquences", Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda travel to Fairy High for the Cosmo's high school reunion, with Timmy suffering a massive PottyEmergency not long after from drinking too much lemonade (The reunion's theme being "A Tribute To Running Water doesn't help matters either). When Timmy tries to find a bathroom, he finds out all the doors are just painted on, as Wanda explains that since they can just poof in and out of places theres not really a need for real doors.
