So I don't have to reinvent the wheel, is there a clever way to hold the bathroom door open? A hook? Bungee?

    I've used a small bungee attached to the knob of the cabinet under the sink.  Not that clever, but it works.

    At night to avoid the Gawd Awful noise the bath room door makes when you pull it open, we just leave the flipper lock horizontal so the door can't touch the magnets on the frame.

    I also used a clear door bumper on the sink cabinet knob so it wouldn't smash on it. Clear and no one noticed.

    Found some little bungees at Walmart, cut off one hook, knotted the end and sealed it with gorilla glue.  Padded the hook with some IV tubing.  Place the knot behind a cabinet door and hook the door with the padded hook.

    To avoid the noise, instead of using the door handle, pull the door open at the top.  You kind of slide the door parts apart, defeating the magnet effect.

    Ratkity can you post a picture of the clear door bumper.  I was trying to come up with something that would stop the kitchen door knob from banging into the glass shower door.

    I got them at Lowes. They look like this:

    My solution.
    1. Rare earth magnet glued to ceiling which was already damaged from being hit by the door. (Will paint it with almond appliance touch-up paint to make it less conspicuous)
    2. Large fender washer tied to door. (Might try to decorate it somehow)

    I bought a cute brass small screen door latch...drilled a very small pilot hole in the wood between the Jensen and cabinet door and screwed it in. Then I opened the bathroom door and held the latch out straight.  I drilled a small hole in the metal door frame...hooked the latch. It holds the door open perfectly! And, when not open, the latch lays quietly against the wood.
