Default Magnets?

The magnets on my gas door keep falling off (Rough Country I think, can't recall though). I have been looking for replacements but can't seem to find a place to buy them. The magnets are about 3/16 to 1/4 in radius and an 1/8 in thickness. I keep super glueing them back on but they fall off after a while so my gad door just hangs open. Any ideas where the heck to buy these things? Thanks.

I've purchased magnets before from magnet4less(dot)com and they seem to have an amazing selection of rare earth magnets in all different sizes.

Perhaps they'd have what you are looking for

Thanks for the quick replies. None of the lumberyards in my area seem to stock magnets (like this). I thought about a hobby shop, but frankly don't even know if we have one locally. I will check out that website or possible make a trip to the closest hobby shop. Thanks again.

I get mine from Lee Valley, use them for magging fishing reels.
