Mexico, interesting you mention using stainless steel.
I have always been of the belief that stainless is not magnetic and I've tried it over the years. Scrap metal places keep a magnet on hand to test for pure stainless, not magnetic.

I had a " stainless " tailgate guard on an old truck I had years ago and I remember being chapped because it was magnetic, so in my mind I thought they sold me a bill of goods rather than a stainless tailgate cover. I guess it was an alloy too.
I'm going to see how the drawers fare out on an upcoming trip for 2 weeks. After I have fiddled with the rubber thingys and bent the tabs at the back of the glides, it should be interesting to see if they hold or not.
Don't really have time before I leave to order the magnet stuff and install it but I do like this idea the best.
No hokey catches and latches to fiddle fool with. When I open a drawer I want to do just that, grab it and open it.
