Sorry if that isn't descriptive enough I really don't know what to call it. But if you don't get what I mean it's the door you would find on one of those store bought cages that you click open or whatever to get into the cage. Since I'm attempting to make a C&C cage I need to know! What do I do for the cage door? (I need to have a top on my cage so that's why I need it!

Normally the top flips open for when you need to get inside.

Many people use binder clips in order to make grid doors.

I used a binder clip on my old cage. It was very easy just remove each connector from the top and use zip ties to connect it to the bottom.

You can zip tie one grid to another (or to a pole) to act as a hinge. For a latch a caribiner works nicely. The size that they use for keychains should be about right, and anywhere that has a key copying machine usually has them nearby.
