A coin door can be added to your arcade cabinet purely as a decoration, or for functionality.
It is posslble to wire up a coin door with switches and interface them to a keyboard encoder. The encoder sends a signal that corresponds to the "credit" command. This allows a coin to act as it would in a real machine. Most coin doors have the same type of switch as a normal arcade button which makes it simple to wire it up to your encoder.
You can also wire up the lights on your coin door by taking 12 volt power from your pc and running it to the light bulbs on the door.
