There isn’t a single answer to this. Different authors might do it different ways. My way would be this:

“I was only a foot away from the door when — BAM! — I was hit full in the face.”

You could also use commas instead of dashes.

I would not use suspension points [ . . .]. They tend to suggest time passing, and that’s not at all what you mean.
