The door on a cooker or oven keeps the heat in the cooking space and it can be used to view the food being cooked. it consists of a few parts the glass the door seal the handle and the hinges as shown above.

The door can be held closed by either a catch or the door hinges spring loaded to keep the door shut tight.

There is usually 2 sheets of glass but there can be up to 5 sheets these create  thermal barrier , the first glass sealing against the rubber seal then one or more layer with an air gap between them to insulate the operator from touching hot glass as much as possible. This arrangement should be design for easy dismantling to allow for cleaning.

Possible issues with the door 

Obviously its glass so care should be taken to ensure its not damaged as later heat cycling can cause the glass to explode spectacularly.

The glass mounts in the door can be damaged and not allow the correct assembly of the glass.( sometimes these clips can be bought )

The hinges can become damaged and or warped or just wear out over time which can lead to the door falling off but replacements can be bought.

Some oven doors are spring loaded other have a catch these can wear or become damaged and will need replacing.

On some cooker / oven doors the glass will be glued in place this is the glue i use and never failed, it does take 24 hours to cure so beware of this. Buy this glue from here
