: Wow... At $0.25/LF what you spent on magnets could have bought $150
: LF of 1/4" bungee cord.
: Just saying...

I've got to go with Rob on this 100%. If you're never going to put anything in your hatches bungees are fine, but packing it will surely interfere with closing/opening them. I used a commercial compression latch, and even that interferes with stuff in the hatch, making it hard to open and close the latch. No problems like this with VCP hatches.
