Springs hold the door closed.  Occasionally, they break.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

There are springs on the side to load it in the up position.

unfortunately no, there is a spring on both sides and they are about .75" long (I don't have one out to measure exactly) and have bends on each end that latch into the opening and the tray.
