locking mechanism

I need a design idea! This FDM-printable object should open and close. Once closed, it should be relatively tight. I first thought of incorporating small magnets, but they won't suffice because there will be considerable vibrations. What would you advise me to do? I am thinking of some kind of simple spring, but I'm not sure how to do it optimally. The design is here.

How about a locking pin.  I modeled a 2mm diameter one in your assembly.  Assembly is attached.
