[Jewelry making - Article 00250] - [Orchid] Hatch latch

    I'm making some boxes that I want to open like a hatch - where the
    top and front panel are one piece and the hinge is at the top, back
    edge. All hinges and mechanisms (I hope) will be inside so the
    exterior looks like a single, solid cube. The next part is how it
    latches. I'd love to have a push-to-release mechanism much like you'd
    find on a stereo cabinet - where you push the upper corner and the
    door pops out just enough to get a hold of it to open or something
    equally sublime since there won't be (ideally) any handles or knobs
    to grasp hold of. 

    Is it possible? Any ideas or suggestions where to direct my research?
    The whole piece will be stretching my my skill level though I can get
    pretty focused and tenatious when working out such a puzzle. 

all suggestions greatly appreciated,
Bobi
