Do Speaker Magnets Alloy With Steel (Ladders) ?

I have a couple of musical keyboards in my bedroom closet. The keyboards have 2 speakers in them on each side that have speaker magnets on the back of the speakers inside & are part of the music keyboard. I am wanting to bring in a Steel ladder into my bedroom closet & set it right there in front of or right next to a few inches from those keyboards to put something high up on a shelf in that closet. I am wondering if my putting that Steel ladder right next to those music keyboards will be a bad idea because I am putting Steel ladder right next to music keyboard speakers that have magnet based speakers that can somehow have a natural magnetic response in bringing those 2 items closer together like a magnet sticks on a refrigerator. I am wondering that after I use that Steel ladder so close to those speaker magnets , whether or not any type of magnetism will alloy to my Steel ladder or have any signs of magnetic responses after the Steel ladder has been removed & away from those speaker magnets. I just don't want to put my Steel ladder so close to those speaker magnet speakers of my keyboard & have magnetism of any levels still on my Steel ladder when it is removed & away from my musical keyboards' speaker magnets. I am hoping no magnetism will be on my Steel ladder once I am done using it & have taken it away from being right next to my musical keyboards & their speaker magnets. Sorry for repeating myself so much in my sentences. I am well aware of it & I am sorry. Terrible habit. My bad. Thank you.

Update:

Yes , for the commentator that was surprised that this ladder is made of "steel"

    Speakers are designed to keep nearly all of the magnetic field within themselves, surrounding the voice coil. Very little of the magnetic field exists outside of the speaker.

    There will be no magnetic attraction between the speaker magnets and the steel ladder that is strong enough to pull the ladder and the speakers together.

    The steel ladder cannot be harmed by the magnets in any speaker, nor by any other magnets people use. You can put all the refrigerator magnets you want on that ladder, take them off, whatever. The ladder will still be safe to use.

    A steel ladder? Really? So rare you might want to sell it - almost all are aluminum, especially any you would put up next to speakers. In any case, your risks are nil unless your speaker magnets are so big that if you had a pacemaker the field might kill you. And are you planning on leaving the ladder there to fall over in the night?
