Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the magnet force of this door catch?

The magnetic force is 5.5lb, providing a strong hold for most cabinet and closet doors.

What types of screws are included?

The set includes Screw A (shorter) for the metal plate and Screw B (longer) for the catch. Spares for both are provided.

Can this magnetic catch be used on exterior doors?

This product is primarily designed for interior doors. Exterior doors may require more robust hardware due to environmental factors.

How do I adjust the catch if it's not aligning perfectly?

The catch features an oblong mounting hole, allowing you to slide it slightly back and forth before fully tightening the screws to achieve precise alignment with the metal disc.

What material is the magnetic catch made from?

It is constructed from high-quality zinc alloy with high-grade electroplating.

How many magnetic catches are included in this pack?

This specific pack includes 4 cabinet magnetic catches and their corresponding mounting hardware.

Is this product suitable for very light doors like screen doors?

The 5.5lb magnet force may be too strong for very lightweight doors, potentially causing damage when opening. It is best suited for solid cabinet and closet doors.

Troubleshooting

Door not staying closed

Ensure the metal disc and magnetic catch are aligned correctly. Adjust the position of the catch using the oblong hole. Verify the magnet's strength is sufficient for the door's weight.

Screws not holding securely

Ensure you are using the correct screw type (A for the metal plate, B for the catch). If the wood is soft, consider using a slightly larger screw or wood filler.

Catch is difficult to install due to misalignment

Utilize the oblong mounting hole on the catch to adjust its position back and forth until proper alignment with the metal disc is achieved.

Rust or discoloration on the surface

While designed to be rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to extreme moisture without drying may cause surface marks. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Ensure the area is not excessively humid.

  3. Attach the magnetic catch to the cabinet frame using Screw B (longer screws), utilizing the oblong hole for adjustment if needed.
