Thank you all for your replies.
Oldgrayhair, I know $100 isn't a huge amount of money, but I am trying to stay within my budget. It is really easy for me, and I am sure a lot of other people, to go crazy upgrading to the next tier on every item, going digitial ballast instead of magnetic, 1000w instead of 600w etc, and then you end up spending 2 grand instead of 1.5. I just see all these amazingly creative grow rooms, and think people have had to come up with some ingenious ways of securing them.
I definitely like the whole Bond secret lair entrance feeling, but I think I am more like a villain in since I am trying to grow weed.
Strictly Seedless. Thanks for your response, I have actually been checking out your grow threads and I respect the work you have done. I am not a contractor, nor is my profession related to construction of any sort, but I spent a couple of summers as an apprentice carpenter, so I like to build things myself and try and find creative solutions. It usually is more hassle than its worth, but is a fun process.
The magnet idea you suggested is more along the lines of something I might try to experiment with. I found a pretty cool and affordable website to buy magnets from.
http://www.kjmagnetics.com/ I think thats the direction I may head, and if you have any experience or suggestions about working with them since it was your suggestion, I would appreciate it.
Also, you can have a good point and still be considered a dick, its all about delivery.
On a side note, father in law sent an engineer over today while I was at work to do a structural evaluation. Grow room is still under construction, so hopefully it wasn't too obvious.
goodluck with it 
Seriously, you are restoring/fixing a Victorian, have an office, and a grow....you can surely dig in the cushions for the <$100.00 electronic option posted.
