Microwave Repair

The door latch (apparently it is really called a door key) got caught on my watch and one hook snapped off. I have a part on order (merely $5), but I was also told that the door has to be totally disassembled. I am a bit nervous about this because I cannot find a diagram or a how-to manual. The part is pretty simple - a stick with two (DAINTY!) hooks on it.
By the way, crazy-gluing the hook back on doesn't work, if that saves someone else from wasting their time.
It looks like this one, as far as I can tell:

This may be late. I just installed a door key for my Panasonic microwave. The part number is F310-1200. You don't have to take the door apart. There is a plastic flashing around the inside of the door that you need to pull out. I just partially pulled it out. That was enough for me to get to the door key. Unhook the spring located on the bottom of the door key and replace the broken part. Snap the plastic flashing back and you are done
