Think something like his would work to support the doors?

It would most likely hold the doors in place. But over time I think the adhesive tape portion would wear out an unstick itself.
I also wonder if it would rust.
Goggle Rare Earth Magnets. That is what I have used in the past. You can order them from Rockler Woodworking.

Peppie, which ones do you think will work best? Is it the full piece or do I order magnets, washers, mounting cups too?

Corey

 

[owenspackman]

check my build thread for door magnets. I went to Home Depot and purchase some rectangular magnets, about $4 for a pack of 2. I have one on each top corner, with the opposite magnet epoxied onto the inside of the cabinet. Doors stay nicely in place and can easily be removed or access to the sump / maintenance.

 

[biecacka]

Yea I actually picked up some similar today from HD and some rails for the front doors. I'm going to get the wood cut this week for the doors and hope to finish up the stand ASAP

This is how I used the rare earth magnets on a stand built for a local reefer
