Opening and closing a small metal hatch

Opening and closing an old metal hatch in our basement. The hatch is locked by two handles. The first two creaks are the handles being turned, the last creak is the hatch itself. At around 0:10, the hatch is closed again and the two handles are turned to closed position.
Recorded using a no-name directional microphone.

I've adapted the movie "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" as an audio comedy, and the Martian villian, Voldar, sabotages Santa's workshop on Mars by rewiring the power panel. I'm using this sound as part of that scene. :) Thanks!

Thanks, this'll be in episode 28 of 253 Mathilde (https://www.quietplease.org/253/) as a shuttle roof hatch.
