I see on the description that there are two screw diameters - a #24, and a #8. What is the correct size of screw that should be used with this magnet?

A #8 will fit with plenty of room to spare. Actually any tapered head screw that will fit a 3/8" hole should work. The taper starts at 3/4" and tapers to 3/8". The magnet is 1/2" thick and the taper occupies half of that thickness or about 1/4". The magnet is 1-7/8" in diameter. All such magnets should be carefully mounted as they are subject to cracking if undue force is applied on the screw. At 150 lbs of rated pull, the mounting screw or bolt should be substantial and securely flush mounted. I would not use anything other than a tapered head screw or bolt as other shapes would unduly alter the stress point of the mount.

The magnets were used to attach tracking device to undercarriage of automobiles. I didn't use screw's, but magnets work great!!

Screw hole to screw hole is 2 1/2 in. Magnets are 2 in total, metal pieces are each 1 1/4 in.

I don't remember the exact size, but take the screw to a Lowe's or Home Depot and look for T-Nuts - I'm almost positive that is what is being used. They should be in the nuts/bolts/screws aisle in one of the drawer chests opposite the bins of loose bolts, or you MIGHT find them on the wall above the bins.

Really pay attention how the old one is in before you remove it to insert the new one. You must have the correct size. No instructions - trial and error. We replaced both door magnets in the end and it works fine - hard to tell which side was demagnetized. Good luck.

KevinThe screws that the manufacture supplies are too big. You will need to use smaller ones.

The forcing screw is a 1-1/8th inch, and the forcing screw nut is a very snug fit 1-1/4 inch.

You would use 2 1/2 inch screws. Here is a handy chart for future reference. http://www.kregtool.com/files/newsletters/kregplus/Images/february12/selecting-the-correct-screw.pdf

Sorry, but I have no idea. I only bought it for parts so I didn't need to worry about the screw length.

Try contacting the manufacturer and see if they will send you another. If they will not or can not, they might be able to give you the size of the screw and you can get from a local hardware store.

For the magnetic one that I have. The largest I have seen is 23.5wX26"h. That would be the largest in "stock" for the magnetic one. These are made to cover from under the control panel to the bottom of the kick plate.(can be cut if kick plate is separate) I think the Applianceart.com site actually offers custom made orders for larger ones!(not magnetic) Good Luck!

I refer here to the www.magnetgunholder.com product that shows two round mounds, not a single like the picture showing in this review as I write this. These magnets are .79 tall by 1.04" wide and 2.39" long. A simple #8 screw will mount it. They have a little dimple under each of the two magnet mounds. I am very satisfied.

HelloMy suggestion is to check your local hardware store. It should be a common set screw.

Not sure of the size, I just used the one from the old handle.You could probably just take the handle to Home Depot or Lowes and match it with what they have there. Both stores carry specialty screws. I'm sure you will find a good replacement screw there. Good luck.

Under the Amazon Product Description for this item, Jacobs states this is a 3/8-24 mounting thread. I tend to believe the posts here are more accurate, but still not taking the chance of a wrong mounting thread. I plan to buy locally from Menards.

5/8" effective 3/4" with stronger magnet or use internal terminal for remote contact with stronger magnet

Are the screws in the same place, but behind the plate? If so, the magnets are pretty strong and could possibly hold. If they are in a different location, it will not work. The magnets are only slightly larger than the screws. They need to align. Hope this helps!

Mostly any magnet works if you are willing to use something other than the stock part. I recommend neodymium magnets. I have a bunch of these for other purposes and they work great and are EXTREMELY strong. Amazon sells many different sizes and shapes.
