I finished assembling a greenhouse and this part (actually two of them in total) were left over. They were packaged together with door handles but they were not part of the door handle/lock system. The big round end is a strong magnet. What are these for? I would use them as a door stopper (when the door is open) but I have no idea what they were actually intended for. Any ideas?

Makes sense if it's a swing door, bolt it to the wall or roof and the magnet end holds the door.
Not much use for a slide door unless its auto close.
There is also often some kind of trickery in a greenhouse to do with windows opening when it's too hot for example, but a magnet alone? Not much use I doubt you would come near its curie point just in a greenhouse!

Yeah, there are swing doors, one on each end of the greenhouse.
