At work we had a project that required the use of a magnetic reed switch on a door that was to thin for the conventional hole mounting method. I devised this holder to allow you to mount the magnet on the face of the door and still have the switch closed when the door is closed.
This is for a switch sold as a RC36 available from many retailers for around $2-$3. The hole for the magnet is approximately 7/8"
I made three versions:
MH00- is the base magnet holder
MH-H05 has a horizontal offset of 1/2" from that of the MH00 holder
MH-V05 has a vertical offset of 1/2" from that of the MH00 holder
These files we designed in onshape
