Apollo convection oven door mechanism

Just a heads up for folks who use their microwave/convection oven extensively. We've used ours pretty much on a daily basis since April '06. Well, last month a piece finally broke - the door release mechanism. The folks at Apollo were very nice and mailed a replacement part at no cost. Not sure why it's plastic since it takes so much abuse.
Getting the unit out of its hole and taken apart was a real pain in the neck. Security bits would've made screw removal much easier. Had to use vise grips on 2 screws.
I hope closing the door gently from now on will prolong the life of the part.
