Ya, im not so worried about it getting loose (taking precautions regardless); more wondering if i need to change out the non wood door for a drawbridge or if a stone door is fine as the wiki says if it was designed for the GCS

According to the wiki GCS are a level one building destroyer so a Stone door should be fine.

Stone doors work to contain GCS, and can be connected to levers for safe remote recapture. The main challenge is safely blocking its line of sight to the bait creature so it will stop shooting and move.

A building destroyer needs to be two tiles away from the building it's destroying. If it's too close, i.e. adjacent, it can't destroy the target.
