This is a set of handles for an enclosure door where the doors swing out. The intent is to insert magnets in each handle so that when the door is closed, the magnets hold them together.
Update: I've also included a 3 inch high one with the same hole sizes. The magnets I use are the 10 pcs rare earth magnets from Harbor Freight. (http://www.harborfreight.com/10-piece-rare-earth-magnets-67488.html)
The holes for mounting are .149" diameter holes designed for tapping out 10-24 or 10-32 (Sorry, not a metric guy, been working in imperial too long).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before you glue the magnets in, MAKE SURE that the north pole in the first handle is oriented to the South pole in the other handle, OTHERWISE, you will have a door OPENER, not a door CLOSER.
