Lost magnet....

[JHf]

Hi Reoville,

So I was having a great time this weekend and happen to lose one of my magnets :'(
I know I can get them from the website, but the shipping cost is....well....not worth it for just a $0.50 part. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get them in Canada???

Thanks
Jhf

Bummer, losing a magnet.

Rob has often claimed that you don't really need them - friction alone will get 'er done. Certainly, having one in place should do the trick for you if you're worried about the door being "faulty".

All that said, here's a place in town that might hook you up...

Main Electronics Manelco Rare Earth Magnets

I had read here about tweaking doors to get them to stay on and I know it's true now. I have a door with no magnets, it's tweaked and stays on perfectly. So if you're having trouble getting it to stay put, tweaking it will hold you over until you get another magnet.

The magnets sold at RadioShack are just slightly larger diameter and about 2X thicker
