Device and method for opening a door

A method for opening a door comprising:

• providing a receptacle structure having a top surface and an angled guiding surface, the top surface forming an angled protrusion, the receptacle structure having a receptacle, the receptacle formed between the top surface and the angled guiding surface;
• positioning a latching rod within the receptacle;
• moving the latching rod in an upward direction to contact the angled protrusion of, thereby causing the rod to push the receptacle structure and the door to a partially open position;
• and
• navigating the latching rod downwardly across the angled guiding surface of the receptacle structure, thereby pushing the receptacle structure and the door to a further partially open position.

A storage device comprising:

• a door;
• a receptacle structure, the receptacle structure coupled to the door, the receptacle structure having a top surface and an angled guiding surface, the top surface forming an angled protrusion, the receptacle structure having a receptacle, the receptacle formed between the top surface and the angled guiding surface;
• a latching rod;
• and
• a sliding assembly coupled to the latching rod;
• upward wherein movement of the sliding assembly causes the latching rod to move upwardly in said receptacle to contact the angled protrusion;
• and
• wherein the contact of the latching rod with the angled protrusion of the receptacle structure causes the rod to push the receptacle structure and the door to a partially open position, and then the latching rod moves downwardly and slides along the angled guiding surface of the receptacle structure, thereby pushing the receptacle structure and the door to a further partially open position.
