Door catch??

[Alan in Little Washington]

Need some ideas for cabinet door catches for my flush inset doors. If possible I want something low profile that minimally protrudes into the opening. I've read that rare earth magnets set in the adjacent edges of the door and stile work. Input please, gentlemen.

I have used the rare magnet thing before, but on a smaller door. It worked great. I even hid the magnets behind a thin wood plug. I read about it in a old Fine woodworking magazine and tried it. if you need more strength, then you need to surround the magnets on 3 sides with metal. this focuses the magnetic strength where you want it. Lee valley has a large selection of rare earth magnets and accessories.

The cabinets are looking great!!
