Actually, if you check the archives you will see  that this fix has been
presented before.  Use either a 1/2" or  3/4" diameter rare earth magnet and it's
counterpart washer and holder  available from _Lee Valley  Tools_
(http://www.leevalley.com/home/main.asp)  or from me.  Much stronger than a cabinet latch
magnet.  I prefer the 3/4" ones.  From my _Vanagon Items  Forsale_

Magnet set, rare earth, 1/2 in., for rear table - $3.50
Magnet  set, rare earth, 3/4 in., for rear table - $6.00
