However, the adhesion between the magnet and the disk exceeded that between the disk and the door.  Several times.  It outlasted the original adhesive, it outlasted double-sided tape, and it would probably have outlasted the next glue I used to bond it.<\/p>\n<p>Except I hit it with a laundry basket, breaking the chipboard at the two screws that acted as hinges.  Irreperable enough, but now as another shelf, it will not be a problem.  So I threw the pressboard door out, but, wait a minute, it has a plastic knob in it.  And you never know when you might need a ten cent plastic knob.
