Could you perhaps dremmil it down 1/8 of an inch and then get a piece of steel or copper plate and mount it with screws. I guess I don't understand why you wouldn't just put an interupt switch on the door. Door opens and the fans go off.

Because (if I understand correctly) the fans are going to be attached TO the door.  An interrupt switch would still require that wires would go from the door (where the fans are) to the interior of the cabinet (where the power is). 

He's looking for a solution that would allow the door to be removed and without any need to 'unwire' something.

And today I looked everywhere for a solution. Went to three electronic stores and could find anything, wasted three hours in the process....

*Edit...errr could not find anything.  ::)

I think your "strips of copper" is actually a pretty good idea.
