Swing-up Door Latches

I am building swing-up doors for my Rebel and am trying to determine how many latches I will need and where to put them. My original thought was to put latches at the front, rear and bottom of the door. Now that I have the first door clecoed together and hanging it appears that the door may be sturdy enough to require only one latch at the bottom. I saw Curts' swing-up doors but do not remember how many latches he has.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Lonnie
Rick Ford of Whitby Ontario has swing up doors on both sides of his Rebel. He could give you some help. Bob P. would have his phone number & he may have pictures on the web somewhere.
