Default Dog destroying door

Apologies if this is in a FAQ, but I couldn't find it.

My 4 month old collie mix seems to be housebroken, but my door is paying
dearly for it. She scratches at it to let me know when she needs to go,
but the scratches are bad and getting worse. The door is an antique so
it's especially disheartening.

I've heard it suggested that hanging a leash on the doorknob might get
her to just tap it as a signal. Won't work with my dog. Anything
hanging within reach is a prime target for pull, drag, and chew.

I thought maybe I could secure some bells, like a Christmas decoration
to the area she scratches, to wean her of the habit and give her an
alternative with which to signal her need. I haven't a clue where to
find one this time of year tho.

Does this sound like the right approach? Anyone have a better idea?
Please, only coherent people need respond - No "Puppy Wizzzzzard".
