Magnets fitted to our rear doors for 4 years. No rust and they work really well.

Thanks... Again!  Oddly, I replied to that original post, so quite where the memory of that solution went I've no idea!

Now is the time to act, don’t procrastinate or we may see a similar post from you in another 18 months!! 

We are still pleased with ours, as you cannot catch a jacket pocket or similar on them.

Sound advice but not needed this time around as I've already ordered some!  See -I do learn sometimes!

Excellent, I hope you are happy with them. Please let us know how you get on and post a pic.

I ordered from the place you linked to. They have 11kg, 20mm diameter x 10mm thick ones on offer at the moment - 3 quid odd a pair! I bought half a dozen.

I'll see how they do. Thanks for the tip.

I hope you have remembered to order both North & South, otherwise it will be rather difficult to shut!!

Important with the ones with the countersunk holes, I appreciate. I've gone for solid ones which (I hope) I can put either way round - please don't tell me the neo-wotsit has a strange phenomenon of being a single pole magnet!   My plan is that they'll stay on the doors in preference to one another once a rubber bumper is introduced between them. (Actually,  it's not strictly my plan - someone else said this works well, possibly in that thread you linked).

Hence, I presume, the "Opener" handle - it refers to what you do with your bonce! 

Yup!
