Product Features
High Magnetic Strength: Each magnetic catch delivers up to 6 kilograms of holding force, making it suitable for heavier cupboard doors or environments subject to vibration or movement. The strong pull ensures that doors remain shut until deliberately opened.
Discreet Design: The compact size and neutral white finish allow the catches to blend seamlessly with most cabinet interiors and exteriors, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of your furniture without drawing attention to the mechanism.
Durable Construction: Designed using strong, impact-resistant plastic housing and powerful internal magnets. Built to withstand repeated use in high-traffic environments without degradation of performance.
All-in-One Installation Kit: Each pack includes all required hardware for installation—8 magnetic catches, 8 metal strike plates, and a full set of fixing screws—eliminating the need for additional components or accessories.
Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for use on a variety of door materials, including solid wood, MDF, particleboard, and laminate. Compatible with both overlay and inset door designs.
Benefits and Advantages
Secure Door Retention: Prevents cupboard doors from drifting open due to uneven floors, air pressure, or vibration—particularly useful in mobile homes, caravans, and boats.
Silent and Smooth Operation: Unlike mechanical latches, magnetic catches operate without noise or resistance, offering smooth door closure and opening. Ideal for noise-sensitive environments such as bedrooms, offices, libraries, and nurseries.
Enhanced Safety: Helps reduce the risk of children accessing potentially hazardous materials in cupboards and cabinets. Although not a substitute for childproof locks, these catches serve as a useful supplementary barrier.
No-Slam Functionality: Reduces the impact of doors slamming shut, thereby extending the life of cabinetry and maintaining structural integrity over time.
Clean Appearance: The white casing complements modern and traditional cabinet styles, offering a clean look that integrates naturally into light-colored interiors.
Reusable and Adjustable: Can be removed and repositioned if needed, making these catches ideal for renovations, upgrades, or furniture relocation.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide:
Select the Mounting Position: Choose the ideal location for the magnetic catch inside the cabinet frame. For most applications, the catch is mounted near the top or bottom edge of the cabinet opening.
Mark Drill Points: Use the mounting holes on the magnetic catch as a template and mark their positions with a pencil or marker.
Attach the Magnetic Catch: Using the provided screws, fasten the magnetic catch securely to the cabinet frame or carcass.
Position the Strike Plate: Close the door to determine where the strike plate should be installed. Mark the position on the inside surface of the cabinet door.
Fix the Strike Plate: Align the strike plate with the magnet, then fasten it using the included screws. Ensure proper alignment for flush and firm contact.
Test for Proper Closure: Open and close the door several times to confirm that the magnet engages smoothly with the plate. Adjust if necessary.
For larger or heavier doors, using two magnetic catches (top and bottom) may provide better balance and added strength.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is the maximum weight or door size these catches can support?
Each catch provides up to 6 kilograms of magnetic holding force. For oversized or particularly heavy cabinet doors, multiple catches may be used in combination to ensure reliable closure.
Q: Can these magnetic catches be used on glass cabinet doors?
These catches are not designed for direct use on frameless glass doors, as they require screw-based installation. However, if the glass is framed or part of a wooden door assembly, they can be safely installed.
Q: Are these catches suitable for outdoor use?
No. The magnetic catches are intended for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture, direct sunlight, or extreme temperature fluctuations may affect the durability and performance of the plastic casing and magnets.
Q: Will the magnets interfere with nearby electronics or stored items?
The magnetic field is confined and localized, posing no risk to typical household electronics or items stored within cupboards. However, magnetic-sensitive items such as credit cards or magnetic tape should not be stored in direct contact with the magnet.
Q: Can the white housing be painted to match darker furniture?
Yes. The surface of the catch casing can be lightly sanded and primed before applying a suitable plastic-compatible paint to match your cabinetry.
Q: Are the installation screws included in the pack?
Yes. Each magnetic catch is supplied with the necessary mounting screws and a matching metal strike plate, making installation straightforward and convenient.
