I need these magnets to work against each other. I have two blinds that rub against each other, could i use these to make sure they avoid each other?

Probably. The largest surface are the poles, so as long as you have them opposite, they will repel each other. There's a chance they may stick on the edges as they pass, but since this is not through the poles, it shouldn't be a significant problem.

Probably not. These magnets are fairly weak. That is just my opinion, but I find these to barely be able to hold themselves to a surface, let alone hold anything.

Toward each other. This one is quite small. Would recommend a larger one like those from Trenatron. Do have to be careful with the power of the magnets. Follow directions carefully.

Yes. One magnet would probably work all by itself. I assume you mean ONE magnet on each corner for a total of four. They are really strong, so four would definitely be ok.

They should work. I can't see any reason they wouldn't work with any shape. The only thing I would say is if the mirror is quite large, you might want to have more than 4 holding it. I have a full length mirror on a closet door and I have six holding it -- 2 on the bottom, 2 on the top and one in the middle on each side.

These things are dangerous. Is what I did, drill a hole in a 1x4 the size of the magnet. Snug fit. Push one in till flush. Grab other and slide it apart. Takes less effort to slide them apart.

Not 100% sure what the question means. Each side of the magnet is a separate pole. Put 2 together and they stick, and if you turn one of the over they will repel each other. Hope this helps.

No, I would look for another solution. I tried this magnet for the small glass door on my fireplace but it was so weak that it did not make any difference.

I'm not sure that this would be a good application for these magnets. The magnetic field produced is very strong, but decreases rapidly with distance. I would imagine that you would have problems holding them in place. I would suggest that you buy the contacts and install them according to manufacturer's recommendations. For example, one well-liked offering on Amazon is Interlogix Door/Window Terminal Contact, Surface Mount, White by UTC (Formerly GE Security/Sentrol). There are several alternatives listed. While it might be nice to engineer your own system, these contacts are inexpensive and easy to install. This, I believe is preferable to using these magnets. This appears to be a case of not reinventing the wheel.

Not sure about windows or doors. The magnets might work on a single pane window. Possibly use some kind of mild adhesive as an alternate option. Good luck. They work great on sliding screen doors!

It does work well on blinds. But it may be more troublesome depending on what type of blinds they are, i.e. thin plastic ones that would bend when being cleaned.

I concur. Depending on the size of the mesh, it should work. The magnets are very strong and don't move.

I wouldn't do that. Forget about the fact that the double-sided tape won't likely support the magnet bars; you're presumably going to hang things on these bars which will increase the weight.If you have to tape these magnets to the wall, why not cut out the middle man? Just buy some flexible magnet tape, available here on Amazon.

Yes. You can buy a pack of two magnets that I have done in the past through amazon. Here is the link. Cat Mate Cat Collar Magnets for Electromagnetic DoorsCat Mate (31)

Only works on metal doors that a magnet will stick to. See if a magnet will stick.There is a type that fits over the corners of the door, not sure where to find them.

They have to touch. If you need a gap, I use some high strength neodymium magnets. This gives me almost 1/2in gap. I do this so they don't smash together. In other words this switch works with any magnets.

Assuming the size of your ducts do not exceed the dimensions of the magnetic sheet, and also that your ducts are ferrous, or attractive to magnets, yes. This product will do the trick! I used these for that same purpose long ago and it deflected the airflow from the vent and lasted several years in that capacity. On larger ducts I imagine you could overlap the sheets but have never tried that. Check your vents with a kitchen magnet before ordering. Good luck.
