The current extent of the storage on the inside of my safe door is an elastic rope weaved around some pegs that practically allows me to store about 10 mags. My current thought is to secure a sheet of thin flat metal (ie a piece of flat duct work style material) and use magnets to hold a strip of elastic against the metal to support several magazines in a row. My thought is that with several magnets along this single strip of elastic I can move magazines around and create larger and smaller loops by simply moving the magnets left or right. If I had several rows of magnets with several magnets on each row does that risk interring at all with the mechanical lock where one day I can’t open the safe?

what kind of lock. The classic S&G used in low cost safes has plastic parts so its not going to give a hoot.

If they don’t interfere with my digital lock I can’t image it would affect the mechanical lock.

I went 3mm thick and they hold more than enough.

If it's a UL listed lock then it won't have any impact. The locks and the majority of their components are nonferrous materials.

Is that just a giant sheet of magnetic material on your door or is there a magnetic strip behind those mags?

Otto Sig- That looks like a Harbor Freight workbench in the background. We have two of them, the comfort when being used was greatly improved by us adding some wheels to the bottom. Raised them about 4-5 inches I’d guess and makes them much more user friendly, plus you can roll them around if needed. Just a thought.

That safe is way too neat! I need to do some organizing in mine.

That makes perfect sense, and it comes from someone who would know. The only safe-lock-guts I've ever seen were all either plastic or brass.

I have a bunch of stuff tagged to the exterior of mine using magnets. Even a couple pretty strong ones. No issues.

No offense, but enlisted military pay must be a whole lot better than it used to be.

Back when I was in we could barely afford beer money.

My situation is a little different, I joined at 31 AFTER semi-retiring. The divorce didn’t help but I’m still doing okay.

Just poking a little (jealous) fun atcha.
