Don't get into the habbit of doing it, but your gonna be fine.
My Flowering room is in the front part of my growroom, the back of the flowering room has a door leading into the Vegging room. I sometime have to open the door to the Veg room while it's lights out in the flower room, thus letting in some light. It's not as big of a concern I thought it was. I have done it for several grows without any delay in growth. I have since put a "Darkroom" door that I got from an old highschool for free. Problem solved..

My thoughts exactly.does lightning mess up plants flowering cycle???
You should of been here to see the smile on my face after reading your post

I enter my rooms all the time while they are sleeping & they get a few seconds of light as i enter,never any problems with hermies,i also use a flash light to work in my rooms when i cant get there durring lights on,again no problem with hermies,i just keep the light moving & never focus it on one plant for long.
The whole deal where everyting causes hermies is bunk & used to explain away everything in sight,its a 100% natural phenomonen for plants to see fleeting light sources in their dark period,as googrow said what happens in lightning storms ? if this type of quick light flashes truly had any effect at all with a plant going hermie then every outdoor grower would have their crop turn hermie,we know for a fact that this does not happen in outdoor grows.
Hermies are based on genitics, not stress or light flashes or small light leaks,you can stress a plant to go hermie but not from most reasons claimed to do so,ive beat plants half to death with every kind of neglect & abuse possible & not once had a plant flop over into a hermie from it.
Think of your garden in terms of what conditions the plants would experience every day & night in nature,then you can answer most questions of this nature yourself,if it happens in nature & dont hurt the plant then your assured it wont hurt the plant in an indoor setting.

you guys make a good point BUT indoors is not outdoors. indoors YOU control every aspect of that ladys life. no, walking into your Flower room every once and a while wont really do anything dramatically, but what it comes down to is
yield . Indoor plants don't know nothing from growing outdoors. Your ladies think that 24 hours of light is what they need and when flowering the 12 hours of off is what they think is cool. what was i saying..oh yeah, if you have them in TOTAL DARKNESS then thats what they will get used to and produce fat nugs accordingly, cause hay, 12 hours of dark is a long working day for her, but she loves it...So when you open doors and or let a little light leek in its like a short break from the budding job..again wont hurt anything but might effect the yield. and if i can save an ounce or two, well then more for me in the end. and ......smoke up

That would be a true statment except for the fact that lightning storms only happen outside. And when they create light during a dark cycle it is perfectly natural and doesn't effect bud size
I guess you could argue that occationaly letting flashes of light into a growroom at night may be more normal and could infact be benificial to the plants.
Or not.. who really knows. There hasn't been any study that Ive heard about on the issue..
Also people drive cars with headlights and high beems, both of which could shine onto a grow op doesn't seem to effect them either.
A bit of light won't hurt you ladies. And it wont effect the yeild either.
