It's semi-magnetic so they will stick but with reduced pull strength

I disagree. It could be a million pounds hitting it. The door is on a hinge. If you left your front door open and wind blew in, what happens? The door just slams open and hits the door stopper, the door doesn't break off the door frame. Neodymium magnets are very strong and the tanks steel. The door will only weigh a few ounces or grams.
