How about a spring? Think a spring might work?
A spring would quickly be annoying to deal with when you want to open the door up and possibly keep it open.
Like, sure, there are ways, but there are no perfect solutions here. A simple sensor that beeps is the best one, imo.
I'd prefer a spring. Atleast for my fridge the beeping isn't pleasant as an autistic person. Any situation where I need to keep the door open I could figure out a work around like using my elbow or asking a friend to help if I really couldn't do it. The beeping I can't work around and if I managed to remove it, which I doubt I could do, I wouldn't have anything to close my fridge or tell me when it's open
