Rubber bands sound good to me - being that I am cheap.  A good source of 
some custom rubber bands is a bicycle intertube.  Pick a size tube and 
just cut a section to meet your needs.  I have used them to close HT 
battery packs that have been rebuilt.  You can adjust the strength by 
changing the width of the section you cut.  I can see cutting one about 
as wide as the knob is deep.

Some time I will tell of the joys of garbage eve.
