Maybe make the cabinets/ containers out of magma-proof material, line them against a wall, have magma pour out of the wall and into grates lined in front of the cabinets. This way, any stored owned items will be safely destroyed without destroying anything else.

A long barracks-style set-up might be best.

I like to think that they simply forsake clothes and light as the madness of Armok takes it's grip. A troglodyte is merely a really old dwarf that got lost in the caverns ya' know.

I build a 7*7 empty room.

Whenever a new migrant wave arrives, I make them a squad with "empty over clothing" uniform and send them to the room. Once they all arrive, I change their uniform to "empty replace clothing" and they drop everything. Then I disband the squad and the little buggers happily run away to their new duties.

Seems to be the way with things on this forum; if an invention doesn't involve death by magma then you know someone's going to go out of their way to make sure it does involve death by magma... then it gets acknowledged as being a great invention.
