I build traps out of 1/2''x2'' rec. tubing and welded wire panels.  My dimensions are 4' high, 5' wide, and 16' long and have a gate in the center.  My door is a continuous catch that hits the side of the trap about 10'' from the framed opening.  It hits against another piece of the tubing that is welded in from top and bottom.  Spring on the door is just a screen door spring about 3/8'' and about 2' long.  I've got to build a couple, so I'll try to get a few pictures in the next few days.
