ONE of them! Judging from the pull now required to
open the door, it's actually tighter than it was with the original
catch! Further justification for my "never throw ANYTHING out"
policy ;-)

Yeah, they're pretty amazing. I sometimes carry a pair around in to play
with. Don't get them anywhere near magnetic media, of course, and don't let
small children handle them unless they're firmly stuck together. I've seen
people injure themselves, as well....
