Looking for magnets for patio screen

We have a Patriot Edition 27RR and just found that one of the magnets for the screen from the garage to the patio tore through the fabric. I am looking to replace it with a magnet that can be screwed on using a washer to keep from pulling through the hole again. Any guidance would be appreciated. I would love to be able to add several magnets to spread the load out better.

Thanks for reply

Thanks Yukongold! Any idea what the weight of the magnet should be? I'm assuming that the weight listed is how strong the magnet is, but have no idea what I need it to be.

The weight of the magnet? Just click on one you are interested in and a new window pops up with all the specs. See photo of example.

How strong a magnet you need? Don't know but personally I would go with the strongest they have.

Don't forget to pay attention to which side of the magnet is north and which is south. It will make a difference in whether the one you select is attracted to or repelled by what you want to attach it to.
