A kick plate will protect your door from scrapes and
damage, but they're difficult to install in a metal door,
so try the magnetic version. All you have to do is stick
it against the door. 
A brass doorknocker is a welcome addition to any home, but
you have to drill to install most of them. Magnets to the
rescue, and just think, if you move you can take the
magnetic version with you without damaging the door. 
A frustration with metal doors is how can you hang wreaths
or other decorations? Well, you can get a two-piece
magnetic hook which will hold just about any decoration in
place. Another neat thing about it is, having two pieces;
it allows you to hang a wreath on a glass door. Just
sandwich the glass between the two magnets.
