I used these on my 180g panels. I counter sunk them. There are 4 per panel and it takes a firm enough pull for me to consider it child proof - which says alot around here, haha.

https://www.amazon.com/Neodymium-Co...&sr=1-1-f6b8d51f-2c55-4dc3-89ad-0c3639671b2dI like that they are coated and come with flat finished screws, short enough for 3/4" plywood.

Im reusing them for my current 75g build.

Think these will stick to a Petco Brooklyn Stand? Or I need to add additional magnets? What do you recommend to mount these? Can I see how you mounted them?

I thought I did 4, looks like I did 3 on top and bottom for a total of 6 per panel. I added that 1x1 strip on the inside of each panel so I could set that on the bottom brace and have them all be level with eachother.

So my wood panel was only 1/4 thick so a magnet would not countersink. But I repurposed ikea knife magnets. Which are definitely too strong to remove but are baby proof for sure. I struggle to take them off.

Corners are a bit warped should of put the side magnets closer to the top.

So at closer inspection it is the door that is warp think it has to do with the wood being so thin. Because on the left side it is completely flush.
E6000 glue 4oz went a long way all panels including inside were installed I still have 1/4 of the bottle left. Just need a bit longer to dry and it has 10000lb of force on any surface wood to metal. also put some on top of magnet so they are rust proof until until the epoxy starts to peel due to removing the door constantly
