magnet

If you have ever looked closely or fiddled with the furniture at PB you've noticed they use magnets to get sliding doors and cabinet doors to close flush.
Has anyone tired this trick? or have any recommendations on magnets to use?

I've used them in a couple of projects. They're great. You can buy some good basic ones at all of the big box stores and any good hardware store. If you need something with more strength look for rare earth magnets from online suppliers like Rockler or Lee Valley. Lee Valley prices tend to be higher on a lot of things, but they also usually sell a better product, and their customer service is fantastic. Whenever I've had a problem it was always resolved immediately without any problems.
