How about a spring loaded door to close it and magnetic stops to hold it closed. Sure, some sort of rubber seals would be a good idea.
That should be easy enough to open with a quick push yet strong enough to hold it closed while enroute. The spring closure/hinge could be arranged so that the door would stay open when fully opened but would want to close itself once the door got past a certain point.
