FAQs

What type of hinges does this latch work with?

This latch is designed to work with standard concealed hinges and drawers. It is not compatible with surface-mounted hinges.

How do I adjust the closing force?

The latch features a depth adjustment screw that allows you to fine-tune the engagement for reliable closing. Turn the screw to adjust the position of the latch mechanism relative to the mounting plate.

Can I use this on very heavy cabinet doors?

While the latch ensures reliable closing, the primary door-holding function relies on the sprung hinge. For very heavy doors, ensure your concealed hinges are rated to support the weight and provide adequate closing tension.

What does the 'safety click' feature do?

The 'safety click' allows you to easily detach the main latch mechanism from its mounting plate. This is useful for cleaning or servicing without needing to remove the entire assembly.

What is the minimum gap required between the drawer and cabinet side?

A minimum gap of 12mm is required between the drawer and the cabinet side for the push-to-open mechanism to function correctly.

Is this product magnetic?

No, this is a non-magnetic push-to-open latch. It relies on a sprung hinge mechanism to keep the door or drawer shut.

What is the color of this latch?

The color family is Silver.

Troubleshooting

Door/drawer does not open with a push

Check that the mechanism is correctly attached to the mounting plate. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing movement. Verify the sprung hinge is providing enough opening force.

Door/drawer does not close fully or stays ajar

Adjust the depth setting on the latch. Ensure the 'safety click' mechanism is fully engaged. Check that the cabinet door or drawer is not warped or binding against the frame.

Mechanism feels stiff or difficult to engage

Clean the mechanism and mounting plate. Ensure the 12mm gap requirement is met. Check for any signs of damage or misalignment.

Latch no longer releases easily from the mounting plate

Ensure you are using the correct method to engage the 'safety click' release. Clean the contact points between the mechanism and the plate.
