David Mantell,a subscriber of this parish,got fed up with the retaing lugs on the shower vent fly screen breaking.
He came up with an idea of using magnets to hold it shut.
I shall let David explain in his own words :
I got fed up with replacing the shower top vent mesh screen because the silly little fixing clips break off, leaving it flapping down.
My solution is to glue two small magnets (tiny coin shaped) on the frame and screen so they hold it up. Works well!
Bought a couple of small coin shaped magnets ( about 15mm diameter by 2mm thick) and broke one of them in half (just using 2 pairs of pliers) I then used these two halves to glue on.
If you don't want to break the magnet, then you could use a full circular magnet, but it would hang down below the bottom of the screen. Breaking the magnet in half is easy as they are sintered and hence brittle.
