Jan,

    I have used toggle catches many times without ever hearing someone
    complain about it opening. I think the key is to make the bar long
    enough. If the bar is just a little larger than the circle it does
    have the possibility of slipping through. If the bar is long enough
    that it just makes it through the circle when they are at a 90
    degree angle to each other you should be fine.
