I found a lot of the enclosure magnetic door latches to be overkill, or use different size magnets. 

 

The catch simply screws into the inside of your enclosure, centered on the double door opening. The door part simply friction fits into a 6mm hole drilled into the acrylic panel. 

The magnets will friction fit, but you can always add a drop of CA glue if needed

Fitting the door magnets

I found it easiest to drill the panel with a small bit, say, 3mm, then widen it with a step drill bit. Drill slowly!

If you accidentally oversize the hole, not to worry, the flange will hide any sins – just add a drop of CA glue to stop it falling out.
