Big time OVERKILL, Tom <G> ! !

Just p/u a couple "sticks" (1/2" x 8' or 10' foot - area dependent) of 
electrical
conduit.  Cut to proper over-sized length and add @ 4" to both ends.  
Get your
handy-dandy BFH out and flatten those 4" ends.  Locate the 1st piece, 
oh say 4"
down from top of door and screw into place.  Repeat and bottom of door 
opening.
Repeat using a diagonal piece of pipe across door opening.  Repeat on 
the other
side <VBG> ! !

Same procedure for front to back and any other location you feel needs 
bracing.

I've got a pic of a MGTD 'tub' done this way and it has been moved a LOT.
Doors FALL into perfect place <VBG> ! !
