I want the door to be openable, but also closable, and stay closed, until I choose to open it again. Assuming the hull is glued together together correctly, the current hinge should make a perfectly fine hinge, but how I make sure it closes properly?

Do magnets come in super thin strips?

This Is Where the Fish Lives

This is how I did it:



I cut a thin strip of plasticard and glued it across the top of the inside of the door and glued two small magnets to it. On the hatch itself I drilled two small holes and glued magnets in them so it is flush when the door is closed. It works great and never comes open.
