Default Sticking an alarm door contact magnet to a UPVC door

My parents have had a front door changed along with some other work. This
now means the surface mount alarm door contact will not clear the gap
above the door. I removed the magnet from the plastic case and stuck it
to the top of the door with Sticks Like S*** to make it fit. It did not
stick.

Can someone suggest a better adhesive for sticking metal to UPVC please?
I do not want to be left with globs of old glue on the door from failed
attempts! The Sticks Like S*** came off the door easily.


Evostik of the solvent sort.


I turned up at my parents this afternoon with some Evostick and my Dad had
pilot holed the magnet and the door frame and screwed the magnet down!
