If security isn't really a concern, you can just mount a solenoid in the door with a finger-contact switch in the sheet metal/whatever of the door skin. Saves weight at only 1 lb or so.

Remember those stupid toys that would chirp when you touched the metal contacts on the bottom of them? That's exactly what happens here. You touch the contacts, the door opens.
