Other: Ideas for securing hatches??

I have just cut the hatches on my Spring Run and need to give some thought as to how I want to secure the hatches. Looking for some personal web pages showing details. Methods that seem most interesting are the inside straps (I can't really figure this out), magnets (how best to cleanly bury the steel in the cloth) and I'm still considering external straps.
If there are some good pages out there with lot's of photos on this subjet please pass on the links.
