On a kitchen unit I'd like one standard door not to open on hinges

I could make something up, of course. Would magnetic catches be
strong enough at the top if it were supported at the bottom? I'd
rather it doesn't have to be lifted up to clear as there will be
another door above and I'd like it close fitting to the top of the
removable one.


Screwfix 19215 roller catches http://preview.tinyurl.com/2qaqk7
might do the trick. They have a fair amount of lateral tolerance so
you'll probably need small wood blocks on the back of the door to
register with the inside bottom corners of the cupboard to provide
precise vertical and horizontal location.


I imagine that they would probably do. My outlaws used to have a meter box
whose front was held on with a couple of catches like that, and just pulled
straight off hohizontally.

Otherwise, Velcro might do the job.
