JT,
For info the early Aztec's just had a single spring latch in the middle of the door ( as in a car) The problem was that when the latch got worn and the door flexed it would pop open. Hence the number of incidents !
Later this was modified and added an additional positive latch at the top corner of the door which seemed to cure the problem.
