What would you use for this?

I am finishing my curio corner display and the door is just about ready to attach.  The door is about 66"x20" with a solid frame and glass as the panel.  The door with the 1/8" glass is a bit heavy and I'm worried about sagging.  I'm using 5 blum hinges.  I think I would like to add something that will help support the door when it is closed.  I got this cheap clasp like thing with wheels that a diamond shape metal piece goes in but I think this is more for keeping the door from opneing than holding the door up.  It could be on the inside or under the bottom of the door where it isn't too visible.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Rob
 
something I haven't seen for a while is those little spring balls that roll onto a slimly dished plate (usually at the bottom, but sometimes installed top and bottom).

I don't know if they've faded from use - but something like that fitted at the right height would give the frame some support.

Short of that - a traditional catch that goes into the frame.

You can do some impressive things with compact high power magnets too, but I haven't dabbled in them for this purpose (supporting), only to keep cupboards closed.
