A storage unit providing a storage space and method of forming a door and frame for a storage unit are disclosed. The storage unit comprises a base, a panel movable between an open position and a closed position, and a retaining member. The retaining member is configured for movement between a first position and a second position, the first position being vertically and horizontally offset from the second position. The retaining member engages the base when the panel is in the closed position and the retaining member is in the first position. The method comprises machining a first groove on a first surface of a sheet, and machining a second groove on a second surface opposite the first surface and at least partially offset with the first groove. The door is then rotated so that the first surface of the door is generally in the same plane as the second surface of the frame.
