FAQs

How do I clean the XFORT Magnetic Catch?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

Can I paint over the cover plate?

Yes, you can paint over the cover plate without affecting the magnetic holding effect.

What if the door is thicker than the catch?

You may need to use a small shim behind the strike plate to achieve proper alignment. Make sure the shim material is durable and does not interfere with the magnet's function.

What is the warranty on the XFORT Magnetic Catch?

The XFORT Magnetic Catch offers a lifetime guarantee.

What type of doors is this magnetic catch suitable for?

It is suitable for cupboards, wardrobes, and bifold doors.

Is chiseling required for installation?

No, the Ezifit s/steel housing cup automatically sets the magnets parallel to each other, so no chiseling is required.

Troubleshooting

Door not closing properly.

Check the alignment of the catch and strike plate. Ensure they are directly opposite each other. Readjust as needed.

Door is noisy when closing.

Make sure the Poron Xrd Foam absorption pad is in place. If it's missing, consider replacing the catch.

Magnetic catch not holding the door securely.

Check to see if the magnets are making full contact. If the door is heavy, the catch may not be strong enough. Consider adding a second catch or using a stronger alternative.

Installation is difficult.

Ensure you are using the correct screws, and pre-drill holes if necessary, to prevent splitting. Ensure the housing cup is flush with the door surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick and easy installation with the Ezifit design.
  • Seamless and concealed appearance for an improved aesthetic.
  • Noise reduction feature for quieter operation.
  • Durable construction with a lifetime guarantee, ensuring long-term use.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Preparation: Ensure the door and frame surfaces are clean and dry.
  2. Positioning: Place the magnetic catch on the door and the strike plate on the frame, aligning them to ensure proper contact when the door closes.
  3. Installation: Screw the housing cup into the door and the cover plate into the frame. The Ezifit design helps to automatically set the magnets parallel.

Compatibility

The XFORT Magnetic Catch is compatible with most cupboard, wardrobe, and bifold doors. It works best on doors that are relatively lightweight and have a flat surface for mounting.

Care

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Periodically check the screws to ensure they are secure.
  • The cover plate can be painted over if desired, without affecting the magnetic holding effect.
