We need a little more info from you.What shape and size of door are you thinking of?Can you fabricate and bend,or roll the steel?I would definatly install some sort of fire brick or K-wool in the door to insulate it and help keep it from warping.
As far as a latch.Make sure whatever you make is adjustable along with the hinges.The door seal will flatten out over time and you will need to adjust it.Always plan ahead for the future.

Dang it Willie you beat me to the punch.ha ha ha
