Abstract
A method for visually indicating that a door of a drug delivery device is open is described. A closing force to move the door is received. Then, it is detected that the door is not closed. A biasing element pushes the door to a perceptibly open position with an opening force when the door reaches the last 30 degrees of rotation of toward closure or when the door reaches the last 30% of range of movement during the rotation of the door. The perceptibly open position of the door is indicated relative to a drug delivery device housing.
