Some places I've seen now have a swinging cage inside behind the over head door. Sucks to have to make your own place into a prison.
That is a good idea, I never thought about a hook. They tried to fish the wire to my garage alarm in the top corner and broke a wire set off the alarm. I moved the new mag switch and made a "wireless" install.
Just this last weekend I put a heavy duty security man door with welded astragal, steel frame, sargent hardware, mortise, new frame in. Went from 32 to 36 x 84. I guess I know what my next project is! residential version
Machining, Fabricating, Welding etc.
