Simple and effective. I like it. Will probably steal this idea. LOL Thanks.

We're actually using a Safety Torx, you know the things you see in bathrooms: pin in center. Boy, if folks can protect bathrooms from people stealing doors and such, should work for Europa too! I'm using them to hold in instrument and avionics panels as well: http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Begin-06-2003/album258/album211/DSCN6971.JPG.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=3 I think I took a flat head Safety Torx and turned a shoulder on it and using in door handle.
