I had thought about that. Have not done this yet, but I thought about adding a secure, detachable handle to the door frame interior or externally.

Option 1:
If you use the door frame route, you would need to lock the swinging part of the door frame. That would not be that hard to do. If you were to use carriage bolts, the handle could be permanent since when it swings in there is nothing behind it. Heck if you want to it could be lighted as well.

Option 2:
If you attached to the exterior side, it would probably have to be a detactable handle to allow for closing the TM. Again power is in the area so it is possible to put a lighted handle in place.

I like option 1 the best since I don't think the handle will need to be detactable...
