Magnetic Latch

thingiverse

I needed a specific latch in both fit and the way it functioned. Not being able to find anything at any local stores I decided to design and print one specific for my needs. Used on a a plain screen type door frame. Someone else might find it useful so I have placed it here in case anyone else might need something like this. Parts Needed for 1 Latch Set: (Tabbed version designed to help hold lid without glue) - 1x Latch 1 - 1x Latch 2 - 2x Latch Cover - Super/CA or other Glue (to secure lid once fitted) *Optional* (Latch Cover is designed to snap in but Glue aids in preventing it coming out if using stronger magnets such as Neodymium) - Screws (I used #6 1/2") https://www.homedepot.com/p/6-x-1-2-in-Zinc-Philips-Flat-Head-Coarse-Thread-1000-per-Box-0-FPC06012Z/300513656 - Ceramic Block Magnets: 3/4" x1" x 3/16" (1.9cm x 2.5cm x .48cm) https://www.lowes.com/pd/Hillman-3-Count-Magnetic-Blocks/50016986#542020
