We have two options for the magnets you may need. We have the part # LC301694 and # LC369299 with the difference being if the circuit needs to be open or closed. The # LC301694 is an open circuit that completes the circuit when the door is closed which tells the step's brain that it's time to retract the steps and the # LC369299 is a complete circuit that when opened tells the steps to retract.

Since the Kwikee part number you mentioned is much older and the info needed isn't available here's what you'll need to do to determine which magnets you need. Since your old magnets are getting removed take and cut them off and strip back the wiring that attaches to the one magnet. Touch those two wires together completing the circuit. If you then see the steps retract you need the # LC301694. Otherwise you need other set.
