What about magnets? I have used the cupboard door magnet latches on things like this. Obviously depends on how heavy the door is... I have a fake back wall in a cupboard in the kitchen held up by four magnets to keep the extractor motor from being seen.

Figured I should post what I mean
You might try cabinet roller catches or friction catches though lining them up correctly will take some good measuring skills. You can also search for cabinet offset hinges or swing away types that will allow full door swing.
I like the idea of magnetic plates- secure and lasting.[link removed] recommended white mag catches cupboard door magnetic for $1.79. These are mainly available on eBay, but alternatives could be found on Amazon, Home Depot, or Walmart.
You may consider using a pivot hinge or a European hinge that can attach to the cabinet and the door without the need for screws. These hinges allow the door to swing open and closed, while also providing support and stability. Another option could be using a magnetic catch to hold the door in place when it's closed. This will not require screws, but may not provide as much stability as the pivot or European hinge. You may want to consider the weight and frequency of use of the door to determine the best hinge option for your needs.
In my case magnetic plates worked pretty well. Magnetic plates allow you to easily remove the door without the need for screws. You can purchase these magnetic catch plates at most hardware stores. They consist of a metal plate that is attached to the door and a matching plate that is attached to the cabinet, which hold the door in place through magnetic attraction. This could be a simple and convenient solution for your situation. Check with [url link removed] and see what types they recommend.
