Needing some ideas and figured this is my best place to go! I need to make a star on a door move from the lower half of the door to the upper half of the door. Obviously a fishing line was my first thought, easiest but the string might show, then I thought of a magnet but it would have to be strong enough to go through a hollow core door and it must not be seen when the door opens, which brings me to a possible Other option: Electronics - does anyone have any idea on how to make this work electronically? The star can be made out of anything - wood, styrofoam, chipboard. Keeping in mind I am NOT an electronics guru in the least and I don’t mind paying someone to help me create this.
Thanks!! Barbara Magee
Take one of the hard drive magnets I put on side of electronics toolbox and use a Star made of metal.
Thank you so much for your help on this! Can I borrow one of these magnets to test it? Are they various strengths due to size?
Yeah they should all be more than strong enough.
Try the top one.
Or see which ever one is attracted to the tool box the most
Just keep it.
Don’t worry about it.
They were from drives gifted to me by @hon1nbo
Which I then promptly opened up, destroyed and took for parts just for reasons like this.
Thank you Kevin! I am excited to give this a try and I am hoping this will be a quick and easy solution to my problem!
