An electronic device enclosure comprising:
- an opening for providing access to electronic componentry;
- and
- a first door and a second door for covering said opening, said first door movably coupled and opposably slidable to said second door such that a single action to open said first door is operable to open said second door by sliding said second door in a substantially opposite direction.
