I built a ash pan with the sliding sloted dump simular to Steve's. I extended the slider on the back side and added a screwed on boss that lets the sliding for to be pulled open and pushed shut with the poker.
Works great.

Re: Ash Pan Latch Ideas?
Another related side item is brake equalization. If you update you brake beams and linkages to be correctly / prototypically equalized, the bottom doors will no longer clear the revised brake components. This forced me to upgrade the ashpan to a slider variant.
