Replacment Positive Magnet for Compartment Door Holder  

Updated 07/28/2025 | Published 07/22/2025

Question:

Hi, I’m needing replacement magnets for my compartment doors but I’m not sure if I need the negative or positive. I’m thinking positive because the ones that are bad busted open will not hold a screwdriver and the ones that are on the doors will hold a screwdriver too them. They look identical I just not sure on the pos/neg part. Thanks for your help. Brian

Hey Brian, yes you are correct and you do need positive magnetic door holders like the part # BA58VR that you referenced. How are yours broken?

It appears that they have rusted and swelled inside the plastic which has split open. They aren’t flat anymore so they aren’t contacting enough to hold like before.

@BrianK Ahh makes sense! Lug nuts can do something similar too if they are chrome plated.
