Thanks. I did see your suggestion last time, but it doesn't meet my spec. I would like tool-free access, and provision for simply laying cables in under seals, as required.
None of the intended contents, which I already have, are DIN mounted.

The job is now done, thanks to all for their contributions. Selecting the right components took much longer than actually doing the job.
I used these catches

with some M5 nylon fittings.
The catches were just right for the size and shape of the box I had to work with, and had sufficient adjustment to get the compression correct. I may slip a nyloc nut on to prevent further movement.
An oversight was that the handle side needed countersunk heads to avoid a foul. I used woodscrews into offcuts inside the box, which effectively prevented them from being accidentally exposed to any electrical contact.
