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. :thumbup:

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