Default diy 'toy display bin' rack.. need ideas..

Hello everyone.. I managed to salvage a couple of these plastic toy display bins from a retail store. I want to make them into bins for baby geckos and snakes, but I am a little stumped on how to make doors. Does anyone have any suggestions? Best I have is one long screen door for each level, putting it on hinges(top or bottom) and making some kind of clasp on the opposite side from the hinge.

Thanks!

depending on what species you keep that could be a great little rack!

i'm sure you have figured something out by now but you could have drilled a hole (top and bottom for each bin) put a dowel rod there and hot glue a peice of plexiglass to that and put a latch on the other side to keep it closed

I think I have.. other projects have gotten in the way and I haven't completed it yet. I bought some plastic channel that they use on boat windows, cut it so a strip runs across the bottom of the plastic bins and one on each side of each bin, so the plexi piece SHOULD just slide down into it.

your idea sounds very interesting though, if mine doesn't work I'll try yours
