    Magnets operation for shower doors?
    When I install the magnet in the track on the frame it will not attract to the door, but when I take the magnet out of the track and apply it to the door it has good magnetism. What am I missing?

    One of the problems u may have is that magnets are not lining up correctly.

    With magnet attached to door, close door and see if magnet goes into track. If not, adjust track and or door so it does.

    Also, and in addition to Creahands's comment, make sure the door hits the frame square on. Since these magnets are relatively weak, the slightest tension will not have enough power to keep the door in closed position. Back to you. Milo
