I use 1/8"x3/8" cylindrical neodymium magnets - see my home page @ http://fhn.site90.net  and click on "Layout" in the left frame, and scroll to the bottom of the right frame.  They are hard to spot, and very strong, and you only need a 1/8" drill to install them.

And please stop with the all caps. That's the equivalent of 'shouting' online and many find it rude and unpleasant.

Thanks for the info Gary. I just ordered some and can't wait to try them out. Does it matter which end is up?
