It is in Grose, but under B (for back door), not G. Equinox 12:46, 19 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
One distinct hit on Usenet:

"3.Perkoff is a Gentleman of the Back Door."
Maybe if we look for the spelling "backdoor" instead of "back door" we can find more hits? Khemehekis (talk) 19:16, 21 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

I found a third, but it is rather mention-y. (Also, the phrase is used in a commentary on the 2013 book, but that seems like cheating) In addition, there is
