In the package I bought each battery disc has an adhesive backing
and the north and south ends are labeled.
The door to the clock would not stay closed. Same thing for a wine cabinet.
Their magnets lost their strength over the years.
The Original Magnet
I placed a magnet on top of the old magnet to see how it would work.
They are very powerful.
BUT I USED THE ADHESIVE AS AN EXTRA PRECAUTION
Good solution!
ReplyDeleteYou are clever with that idea.
ReplyDeleteNice and handy!
ReplyDeleteIs there even a remote chance that they could be knocked off and end up where your grandchildren can get them, John? I see the warning on the package and although I imagine you have thought of it, I couldn't NOT mention my concern, because if a child ingests a magnet it can be life-threatening.
ReplyDeleteIf you've considered that, job well done :)
I thank you so much. Initially I put my faith in the strength of the magnets BUT now I'm going to add the adhesive just in case. I feel a bit dumb for not thinking of this before.
DeleteYou are a real lifesaver my friend,
I updated the post to warn readers about this danger. Thanks again.
DeleteThanks for letting me know! I felt like I was putting my oar in where it might not belong, but I just didn't want anything like that to be overlooked. I'm glad you didn't mind.
DeleteGood solution, and a good idea to use adhesive.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
