So you know how some cabinets have no handles and you just push the door and it pops open?  What do you call that device?

There usually just called touch latches. If its what I'm thinking your trying to explain.

EDIT: I need a teeny tiny one for my computer, like itsy bitsy small.

THIS IS MY SUPER TEENY TINY SIGNATURE!

Ain't it just the cutest little signature.

Some would argue it is the cutest little signature ever.

Yah, not sure about building one. I just know cause I used to install them all the time on cabinets. The smallest ones we used were  2 inches. You can def find one pen sized just search amazon.
