How to temporarily hang a small metal pegboard on metal cabinet?

[wahoowad]

I need to temporarily affix a small 16x20 piece of metal pegboard to the side of a steel cabinet. I’ll have a couple pounds max of tools and pegboard accessories. I may need to remove the entire pegboard section quickly due to a clearance issue so am trying to come up with a temporary way to hang it rather than bolting it to the cabinet.

Any suggestions/products to recommend?

How thick is the cabinet?

If steel, magnets

Get a couple of these from Harbor Freight.

I would try magnets!

Get ones that have the rubber boot so they don't slide down the side of the filing cabinet

Since nobodies mentioned magnets, how about velcro.

Don't ask me how I know, but with some of the neobenium... er... neodynamic... ah... neodymium (that's it) magnets available today, be careful you don't make your temporary install a (nearly) permanent one!

Rare earth magnets attached with Gorilla Glue. Here’s my thread checker that I store on the inside of one of the cabinet doors in my garage. You want to either upsize the magnets or add a few more depending on the weight of your board and tools.
