: I've used these same ones from KJMagnets.

I probably heard about them from you.

I think they're well worth the extra cost.

I had a lot of problems with the uncoated magnets swelling
and rusting over time. I had to make sure the magnets were
VERY well sealed to keep out moisture.

I still do the same with these coated magnets just to insure
all the work I put into making the hatches is long lasting.
