Magnets - double doors

[WWilts]

New build in progress.

 

Looking for recommendations on what magnets to use, to hold double doors closed.

Successful experiences would be very helpful.

I’m guessing internal? Do the doors swing both ways? (I’m going to regret wording that … que posts from certain members)

what are doors and frames made of?

Internal double doors.
Open in one direction only.
Wooden doors & frames.

A few possibilities available, main point is very well fitted hinges so the doors have no spring  in them.

this allows small magnetic catches to be used that can be hidden in the rebate/stopper. Easier if frames are not rebated so you can add the stop after fitting doors and catches
