I would suggest having the door swing in. That way you could glue a tab on the inside of the door so when the inevetable happens and your pet decides to leave he cannot. You can even use the magnet as your stop.

As for cutting the acrylic like that, you will be hard pressed to break it out with a clean break. If you plan to try that you may need to drill out the corners of the door cut out so it will snap off nicely. It will be difficult either way.

For future reference, tarantula slings (young t's) need smaller enclosures to get assimilated to before they grow up and can handle a larger housing. If the door were to swing in, feeding it could be quite a task since the area is so small. Thanks for taking the time to comment though, I've decided to go with laser cutting as per the rest of the comments
