See the pictures to see what I made this for, you can use it for any type of door or frame with hinges.
The two pieces hold 5mm round magnets by pressure fitting them, I used simple pliers to do that, and it stays in place snug. Make sure the polarities are correct, if you make a mistake, use a hot needle to push the magnet from behind it by melting through the plastic.
But, to make sure you don't make a mistake with polarities, first pressure fit one magnet, then put another on top of it, and slide it into place, this ensure the polarity is oriented in the correct way, the magnet that is already in place aligns the other magnet in the correct way.
