The invention is an outdoor storage compartment. The major components are a housing having an interior with an open-side, a center swinging door with an integral tray, and a magnetic closure. The door can nominally be opened by pressing a designated push point near an end of the door, therein causing the door, which has a center elongate bearing, to hingedly rotate on an axial pin that is vertically spanning the open-side of the housing. The door can smoothly and easily be opened with the pressure of only one finger. The magnets in the magnetic closure are not in contact. When opened, the integral tray is conveyed from the protective interior of the housing to an easily visible position on the exterior of the housing. As the door is fully opened it sweeps through a rotational arc of about 180 degrees, so that an interior face of the door pivots to the exterior of the housing. The door is sized so that one radial length section is slightly shorter than the second radial length section, where the radial length is the length of door measured from the elongate bearing to an end of the door. The shorter section of the door and the integral tray can sweep through the interior of the housing, while the longer section of the door is restrained. The housing has an interior height, as measured from a bottom wall of the housing to a top wall, that is preferably just slightly greater than a height of the door.
