For using a laser to make a door, see Laser Cutter. Examples: |

Kid vs. Kat: Kat does this several times to the Kat Kommander's rebellious son in "Rebel with a Claw"; once to seal him in a room to get him out of the way, and later to seal him in his transport module before they launch him back into space. | |

In recent times, this has been abandoned in favor of cutting the wires, but let it be known that welding an airlock shut was in Space Station 13 first. And if you want to be nasty, it's possible to put people into lockers, then weld them in, preventing any escape without somebody else unwelding the locker. |

It makes a return in the sequel Killing Floor 2 with Support not only being able to repair destroyed doors, but a trait exclusive to the Demolitionist perk, is that the doors they weld shut are booby-trapped to explode once destroyed (originally it was a perk skill but was turned into innate ability). | |

Star Trek IV did it earlier than Nemesis above; Kirk uses a phaser to melt the lock on a door he locked some 20th-century medstaff in. The staff inside are a little surprised at the rather blatant breaking of the Prime Directive, even by the standards of a captain well known for playing fast and loose with said directive. | |

Stargate SG-1 did this with the Stargate iris on a few occasions. The first time it was done to the Beta gate after it had been stolen and used to steal from friendly worlds. The second was to their own gate to prevent any dial ins completely while they tried to extract Teal'c from the buffer. | |

A tool that is available to all perks in Killing Floor is the welder, it helps with defense by closing entry ways allowing the Zeds to be funneled into another entryway. This can also just slow down zeds as they have to spend a lot of time knocking down the door as you make your escape, however if the durability reaches zero the welded door will be destroyed. Previously welded doors can also be unwelded just in case if you need to escape or open up another path. The Support perk has stats that help with how fast they can weld and unweld doors, alongside that welding is also another good way to gain experience for the perk. | |

Star Wars Rebels. In "Vision of Hope", the Ghost crew duck into the Dilating Door of a sewer tunnel, but then stormtroopers come along and weld it shut. Chopper tries to use his saw to remove the weld, but has made no progress when Kanan uses his lightsaber to cut the door open from below, nearly stabbing the droid in the progress. Chopper is not happy. | |

The Spongebob Squarepants episode Squid's Day Off has Squidward lock himself in his own home, barricade the front door and weld the lock to prevent himself from running back to the Krusty Krab so make sure Spongebob hasn't destroyed it yet and force himself to enjoy his shirking work for the day. Of course it fails and he plows through the barricade in an instant to run back to the (perfectly fine) Krusty Krab. And of course it turns out they forgot to put up the "Open" sign, so nothing would have happened anyway. | |
