Need ideas on bracket to hang curtain on metal door

I have a metal door with a window in it. I am concerned about hanging a curtain that will be pulled up and down daily, as I do not want the bracket to pull out of the door. What kind of a screw/bracket can I use? I'm concerned a regular screw will eventually pull out of the metal door. Has anyone had this problem, and what did you do to resolve it?

    I have magnetic rods on my back door which is metal, with glass panes. But I don't open and close. Just have a dark sheer and let it go at that.

      Sigh. The kitchen is dark, hence the door with windows. Need privacy at night so do need to open and close pull-up curtain or mini-blinds. I am concerned the daily pulling will make the screws come out of the metal door. No room for tension rod, and do not think magnetic will work with daily pulling on the cord.

    Unthread them and soak them in water till straight, then dry them straight.

    Consider putting window film over the windows - if you want privacy. It is like contact paper, but opaque with a design. They have some that looks like stained glass windows. Then use sheer curtains on magnetic brackets. Or opaque curtains that can be opened and closed with a magnetic bracket. There are also magnetic window blinds available, that can just be adjusted open or closed.
