Magnets now hold the doors closed and in the open folded together position. Way better than both doors hinging from opposite sides. We can now open the doors with toilet seat up or down and they look exactly like original since they are the original doors just hinged differently.

Sorry guys, I've never tried to post a pic on any forum so I'm in the experimenting phase. I think I may have it figured out so hopefully the pics will come up this time around.

Gary, metzdg also mentioned he added a hinge at the bottom to lock the door.
Might want to inquired about that if you go that route

Hinge pin at the bottom to prevent the door from opening while traveling. …. If you install the KV slide with the self close feature this may not be necessary but my sliding door extended and then fell off into the shower while traveling. I installed a hinge pin at the bottom of the sliding door to prevent this from happening again.
