I'm not sure if its been done before but here it is.  The wacky colors are for
clarity.

Here are the components.  The 1x2 plate modified with door rail is the key.

The jumper plates off set the container 1/2 stud and line up the door with the
surface of the model.

Use 2 - 1x2 tile to cover the top.  The 1x2 tile has no deviders on the bottom
and allows for the 1/2 stud off set.

The undercut of the 1x2 plate mofified with door rail allows for the hatch to

Nice work.
