You need to be able to get the magnet positions lined up perfectly, on the underside of the cavity cover against the recess in the cavity wall.
You also need the magnets not to be so strong that magnetic strength overcomes the glue strength.
And don’t forget to leave a little recess somewhere around the edge of the cover, so you can get a finger (other tools are available) under the cover to lever it off.

I just used a paper template and an awl to get them lined up in the same place
Metal cavity cover...cavity recess is lined with 'fridge magnet' material...you don't need a lot of magnetic strength due to all that surface area!

One thing to watch is that you get the magnets the right way round, otherwise they’ll push the cover off rather than holding it in place.
