how can I get my Moffatt oven door back on?

I had to get help to pull the door off to clean the oven, and now it eludes us about how to put it back. It's an old Moffatt almond stove. There are two 'hinges', a long top one with a hook that is easy to get in, and a smaller jagged one with a little catch that we have tried both open and closed. There are two little dowels inside the stove. Please won't somebody help us. Thank you so much.

It's tough - I just bought one, and fought with it for 15-20 minutes before I found the trick. You have to hook the upper long arm first (both sides) into the upper opening, then bend the door back down as best you can, try to lift the bottom of the door toward the stove, and manipulate the small lower arms into the lower slot. The lower arms have a small groove/slot on the underside, which you have to latch over the edge of the opening. I had to get my wife to help so the arm didn't fall back out of position on me (needed the second set of hands). Hope this helps.
