Question

A cabinet with doors on which a large picture is drawn together. When you open the doors, the picture "breaks," and when you close the doors, the picture returns to its completeness. The distance between the doors is about half a centimeter. Is there a problem opening or closing the doors on Shabbat and holidays?

Answer

Hello,

It is permissible to be lenient.

As the Mishnah Berurah permits, according to the basic law, opening a book that has letters on the edges of the pages.
