: I guess what I'd like to see is for all of you who have done Magnetic hatches
: to post up how many PAIRS of magnets you used, what spacing you put them
: on, and what size gasket material you used. An opinion of how hard or easy
: to open the hatch is would also be useful, and as always a picture is
: worth a thousand words!

: Thanks!

I use 8 pair per hatch @ 1/8" X 3/4". This is very strong and requires a pull strap to release.
