You wouldn't replace the sheet rock with metal plate. You'd want to mount the metal plate right to the sheet rock. That way you have somewhat of a fire break/sound insulator there as well. As for how simple, it depends on whether you like that riveted boat hull look. If you don't mind seeing the fasteners, it's easy. Just make sure you space them evenly, and put screws in even if you don't necessarily need them, to keep the regimented look. Depending on the gauge you want to install, it will start to add up in cost pretty quickly. If installing it yourself, and you don't have a metal break, make sure you work out your sizes first and have the supplier cut the sheets to the right size.
Air locks are a different matter. They take up too much room for a normal house. If you're just talking having a second door (like a sound stage airlock, which isn't air tight at all), it's a fairly simple thing to install conceptually. You'd just have to create a hallway leading to the room in question, and have a door at both ends. If you actually want an air lock (with the air portion of that being functional), I'd imagine it's more complicated. I know nothing about ventilation systems though, so you're on your own.
I'd imagine an air lock wouldn't work so well with all the dogs and your great nephew going in and out of your room though.........
