There is a latching point on the rear and the front of the door to keep it
closed. 
 Once when I jammed somehthing in my slider at the back I kept pulling and
pulling on the handle and could get it to open.  Then I smacked the door to
see about popping the panel off and it just slid open.

It is a latch similar to a door latch controlled by a rod from the
handle/locking mechanism at the front.  I found that if the rod or either
end latch is not set correctly none of it is and the door will just pop
open.

Planned insanity is best.
Remember that sanity is optional.
