How I Designed This

Designed in TinkerCAD.

Custom Section

I'm sure the design could be improved but it's pretty simple and works. I had been using magnets on two sided tape to hold the door up but eventually the tape gave out. I don't know why they didn't desin in a catch. I used a strap of tape for a long time but eventually the tape would always tear or lose it's stick and the door (though very light) would inevitably come crashing down scaring the daylights out of me.
