ROFLMAOOOO ... i love it!
Seriously, though ... you could always use a small cupboard (big enough, anyway, to get a couple of people into)... make the door swing outward, or just put an archway instead of a door ... position another one on the upper floor, ... and ditch the staircase if you'd already put one in.
ps the '85 vulcan qasar heater? we never learned about the recall; - ours carked it, hubby paid a small fortune for someone to fix it, the "fix" lasted six weeks ... and i've only JUST gotten him to dump it. he'd formed some weird and quite disturbing attachment to it because it worked so well when it was new!
