try these images

the top just hooks over the door and the bottom clamps. the weight is taken by the top hook and the bottom fixing just stops any movement

Cheers buddy. It was the bottom clamping bit I was unsure about. This clears it up. Cool

Already thought of that Wink

Have some 1.5mm rubber strip in the outhouse which I bought for another project. Was going to glue it onto the ladder brackets. If nothing else it will help grip and prevent rattling:)
