There is no problem with it James, he just wants to know how it works.
Mine is disassembled now, but if you look at this picture:
http://www.hobby.nl/~afd-amsterdam/brick/scans/8000/8448/185.jpg
You can see the top of the pneumatic spring is attached to the technic
triangle (coat hanger). When you push the door down, the bottom of the
triangle is pushed towards the beam, which then locks it in place. When you
push down on the lever, it pushes the triangle, freeing the spring.
