A hidden non-electric "keyless" catch or an alternative hinge.

Oh wow, I totally forgot about the button. Duh. Thanks for mentioning that. No koysticks though the first version did sport a pair. Not in this one.
Yes, it's a wall mount. And those are knobs. I assumed it would be obvious, but on second look from someone who hasn't stared at the model for a month, it isn't so obvious.
Those are Return To Center knobs. I figure just shy of 180 degrees of motion with my current iteration but if I can locate a pair of matching approximately 2:1 ratio gears with at least one with an 8mm bore, I can achieve 360 degree of motion albeit a bit unecessary. With different ratios I can achieve greater rotation.

You can find really strong roller catches in different styles. Double ball roller catches are pretty good if memory serves. Easy enough to recess too.
