My Tank Thread
All my panels are held via magnets, no hinges at all. Bought them at the big box store (HD). Only thing to keep in mind is you will need a place to set the panel when accessing system, so keep that in mind.

Not using any on my stand (sump isn't in it) but I use em for other stuff. I grab em from American Science & Surplus since they have a local retail store, but they do ship as well. They have a bunch of stuff that comes in handy for various things.

+1 on mfinn's post ^above^ www.magnets4sale.com Marty referred me to them years ago and has been the best place I found and have ordered from them many times.

I have magnetic doors and panels as well.
I got my magnets here - I got a whole bunch to play with, but end up using disc magnets
MAGCRAFT® Brand Rare Earth Magnets
I designed the latches and 3D printed them. Used forstner bit to drill out a flat bottom hole in each corner of the panels and doors and set the magnets in with some CA glue.
I love being able to pull everything off when doing maintenance.
