I am sure you will come up with a cool solution over the next day or so, maybe a custom aluminum hanger

I know this will not help things right now, but I think this switch may be right up your alley
They ship to Canada if you can't find what you want

Yes that's exactly what I need thanks. I'll give Active Tech here in town a call to see if they carry something like it.

Might push back and pop my doors open tho. The current magnetic latches are just strong enough. Every now and then they do pop open.

I call my first acrylic creation Big Ugly. She holds 3 socks and stands on 4 legs. Excuse the crappy iPhone snap.

Not going to win me any craftsmen awards but not but bad considering I did all the cuts freehand with a skillsaw and drilled out the 3 openings with HUNDREDS of small holes. Sure is something to be said for having the right tools for the job but that can't be said about me! Can't wait to install her tomorrow!

Water feeds into that box in the front then heads down the raceway. Exits out the end should the 3 socks get dirty enough to not keep up.

Well that didn't take long. Looks good.
I haven't had time to work on mine yet. Hopefully I'll get some time Sunday.
