The door is easy to operate. The oven is very simple. I purchased it for an aging relative. All you have to do is turn the knob to get it to operate.

You pull the door open, there is no push button to open it. The cooling fan will run before and after microwaving food.

Hi, the door is very easy to open and secure. These are really meant for commercial use, like a sandwich shop to be used quickly and often. It is easy to clean (in our office where people seemingly have no idea how to cover something they are heating!) It does not, however, have any features other than changing the heating time. So it is a real no frills unit - but solidly made.

Yes there is a door and it works smoothly, has a small latch and looks exactly like the rest of the piece.

I find it to be sturdy. My daughter with CP is able to open it (non to gently) and it closes okay.

This may depend on the unit you have. For the two I've opened they did not have any latches. It is best to have the unit off because the amount of suction created makes it nearly impossible to open. Mine is just a flap that opens on a piano hinge. Similar to a small door. There was no knob or anything so use your fingers or small blunt tool like a flat head screwdriver to break the initial seal created by months or years of suction and it opens freely. But most have a spring loaded door that closes automatically.

Yes, it stays open. There is no closer on the gate...just a really nice latch.

It is very easy to use and sturdy. I have found it only works well on doors that open outward though.

no latch, just slight tilt. It's well made and looks good. Solid wood and the only improvement I could recommend is the door has no stop as it opens all the way to the countertop. I would still say its a buy.

The doors close shut, but there is no lock. I can tell you they do not open easily on their own. I've been very happy with my purchase. If you want you can add a latch lock to it.

It's a little difficult due to the firmness of the waterproof seal. You might try pressing down on the door when you move the latch. I have some difficulty with it, and you might need two hands, but it will open.

the key is not needed to open and close the unit. it uses a magnetic push mechanism. so, you just push in on the door and the magnet releases and the door opens. to close, just push on the door and the magnet is engaged.

Yes, it is. Ours is very smooth to open. There is a latch on the back of the top cushioned step that locks the stool in place when open. When ready to close, just lift up on the latch, push the back bottom rung with your foot and it closes smoothly and easily.

Its stiff at first, then it opens and closes smoothly. It does require a little hand strength. Now mine opens and closes smooth and easy.

There is a snapping noise but not bad at all. It does not wake me up at night and it is not enoughto startle you. I would say it's about the same as floding back one of those 12" plastic rulers and lettingit snap back against the wall. I am also going to give this door a further endorsement. It was about -8Celsius here yesterday (17 Farenheight) and there was no draft coming from the door and no cold area likei felt around the windows. The door is worth the money in my opinion.

They are very easy to open. There is a tab you pull up that opens the doors. I have been happy with this

It flips open easily. It is not loose, so it doesn't flap around but at the same time it's not so hard to open that it takes pressure to lift up. It's more like gentle click. However, the opening is not very big.

This curio has a single door that closes securely into the latch. You don't need to worry about it popping open. It requires significant amount of pull to open the door.
