Now that you've gotten all the funny answers...here is one that will
work.

If  door & calculator housing are still more or less intact & it is just
a fit / retention problem...I have a proven solution that worked for
years on my HP45.

Aluminum tape... about .005" thick

Rather than buy a whole roll send me your smail address & I'll send you
some to try...it will probably outlast the batteries.
