Velcro






The dryer door didn't like staying open, so, after several irritating bumps, I applied hook 'n pile.

After a week of, shall we say, maybe too much tea, the light toilet lid bouncing back down at inopportune moments became a similar problem. With the same solution.

Yes, the lid is closed in this house. Because I have lost items down the toilet if the lid is open, a comb, an earring. And I hate going fishing there. Most people do.

Velcro is amazing. Well done for original uses.

How handy and inventive you are!

I glued a magnet to the wall where a baby-gate swings back and forth to keep it in place when not in use.

Velcro would also have done the job, but since there is already a metal connector piece on the gate I thought the magnet would work well, and it does.

I have two cabinet doors which will not stay open and keep bumping me. I'm going to borrow your idea!

Phil,
Magnets are just as good, if not better. I am very fond of them.


Crow,
Oh, don't borrow, steal.
