The top of the doorframe (steel) and the bottom of the brickwork. For
20+ years with any luck.


Not a hope. Weeks at best with regular use. To make it stay longer, you
need to either weld bits of wire along the frame, or put screws in close
together, to give a key. Cement won't stick to what is probably painted,
smooth steel. If it's not painted, the steel won't last that long anyway.
