Hi. I'm a caretaker in a School and need to Pop Rivet a Staple to a exterior strong closure hollow steel door so that the door can be 'hooked' open. How do I choose the right rivet and do the job? Thanks.
 
Drill two or more holes to suit the fitting, then use big steel pop rivets of sufficient length, 1/8" shank or more, should be strong enough, or have you considered welding staple to door?

You could also fix with self tappers.
''exterior strong closure hollow steel door'' Would that be a fire door? :?
 
I thought "caretakers" are they called that now? Were multi skilled?
