Another thought.  Is the door closed mechanically (door closer)?
Sometimes you can adjust these to keep the door slightly open.  This
would of course require the customer/end-user to push the door closed to
engage the mag lock on the "outside" of the door and a handle on the
inside to pull it closed.  When the lock released, the door would "pop"
open enough to grab it (that's actually the simpler way to handle it).
