Or maybe you can still get a good enough grip on the edge?

I tackled one of them today. Here are some photos. The panel was just slightly larger than the aperture, so I had to trim it slightly at the top and along one side. I also obviously trimmed it to accommodate the hinge. Since it's actually a decently tight fit, I used a single magnetic catch at the top. I'm going to leave it this way for now and only add another magnet at the bottom if needed. I open it by pushing it in at the bottom which causes the top to break free of the magnet. Then I just pull the panel out.

So I did ultimately add another magnetic catch to the bottom-center. I also drilled a very small hole near the top and made a little loop of clear fishing line to use as a pull-strap for opening the panel.
