I'm picturing a stack of twenty pairs of nice white cotton socks, in a glass case on the wall at the back of the most secure portion of the fortress.  Written across the front of the glass are the words:

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
BREAK GLASS

Hey, reminds me I have thought of a very nice and destructive trap for building destroyers some time ago.
-make external pressured water/magma reservoir, on the way to your fort, so that building destroyers WILL walk next to it.
-before filling it, replace one wall with a glass window. They're magma-proof, so they will contain water/magma just fine, but they're buildings, therefore, they are likely to get destroyed.
-fill it.
-add a note on top of the window: "IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, BREAK GLASS", or something like that. Not mandatory, but just better this way
-building destroyer will not be able to fight the urge to break the glass and very likely drown/get incinerated in the process.
-what, cleaning up the mess? Not my business. You figure it out. 

Gutters. Then you can make the MB float into another trap, or dump the body.

demon 1 to demon 2: "hey... the door is open... what gives?"
demon 2 to demon 1: "hmm looks too easy, i'm betting there's !!magma!! on the other side of that open door"
demon 1 to demon 2: "crap did you hear that? think i just saw a flaming kitty pass by... you go first"
demon 2 to demon 1: "eh, no you go first"

So, standard process: build door, channel area above door, dump itmes into doorway from above, and then build second door/floodgate/whatever.  Gotcha.

Question - has anyone determined if they always stop a certain distance from the door?  Like somewhere you could have a bridge or pillar supported floor?

Or a corridor of lever-operated spikes.
