A method and device for opening a door includes a receptacle structure. The receptacle
structure is coupled to the door. The receptacle structure has a top surface and
an angled guiding surface. The top surface forms an angled protrusion. The receptacle
structure has a receptacle and the receptacle is formed between the top surface
and the angled guiding surface. The device also includes a latching rod and a sliding
assembly coupled to the latching rod. Movement of the sliding assembly causes the
latching rod to contact the angled protrusion. 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. After contacting
the angled protrusion, the latching rod navigates across the angled guiding surface
of the receptacle structure, pushing the door to a further partially open position.
