I am looking for a specific design to hold on the doors to your stand. I want my doors to be held on by magnets. Does anyone have this or know of this design?

thanks
Tom

Buy some push contacts and recess them. Push them, they pull away and you pull the doors off.

Velcro is my best friend.

I used rare earth magnets. Embeded them in the wood panels and then formica'd over the top of them. Can't see the magnets but they stick very well to my metal tank stand.

Get those magnets to hold cabinet doors closed. Just use 4 of them instead of just one.

i used rare earth magnets as well - countersink them into the doors at the 4 corners, and countersink a large flat washer into the stand where they meet. I used 3/4" magnets with 24lb pull. it takes both hands to pull them off!
