FAQs

What is the weight limit for the magnet?

The magnet provides a 5.5lb holding force, suitable for most standard cabinet and drawer applications.

Can these be used outdoors?

The zinc alloy construction with electroplating offers good resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for humid environments like bathrooms or kitchens. However, they are not specifically designed for direct outdoor weather exposure.

How many catches are included in this pack?

This specific pack includes 4 magnetic catches and 4 metal discs.

What is the finish of the magnetic catch?

The magnetic catch has an antique black metal finish.

Are screws included for installation?

Yes, the set includes ample screws (8x Screw A, 12x Screw B) along with installation instructions.

How do I adjust the catch if the door isn't aligned perfectly?

The magnetic catch features oblong mounting holes that allow for slight adjustments in position before fully tightening the screws. This helps in achieving precise alignment.

What materials are the catches made from?

The catches are constructed from high-quality, rust-proof zinc alloy with electroplating.

Troubleshooting

Door does not stay closed.

Check if the magnetic catch and metal disc are properly aligned. Adjust the position of the catch using the oblong holes. Ensure the magnet is clean and free of debris.

Catch is too weak or too strong.

Verify the correct placement of the catch and disc. For slightly heavier doors, ensure the disc is positioned for maximum magnetic contact. For doors that are too difficult to open, slightly reposition the catch to reduce the magnetic pull.

Screws do not fit securely.

Ensure you are using the correct type of screw (A or B) for each component. If the screw hole in the furniture is stripped, consider using a larger screw or a wood filler and re-drilling.

Corrosion or rust appears on the catch.

While constructed for rust resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive moisture without cleaning can still affect the finish. Clean with a soft cloth and ensure the area is dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Strong magnetic hold prevents doors from opening unexpectedly.
  • Durable and rust-proof material suitable for various environments, including humid ones.
  • Adjustable mounting holes simplify installation and alignment.
  • Stylish antique black finish enhances furniture aesthetics.
  • Comes with all necessary hardware for immediate setup.

Cons

  • Magnet strength might be too high for very lightweight or frequently accessed doors.

  • The antique finish might not match all modern decor styles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the correct placement for the magnetic catch on the cabinet frame and the corresponding metal disc on the door.
  2. Use the provided screws (Screw A for the catch, Screw B for the metal disc) to attach the components. The oblong holes on the catch allow for adjustment before fully tightening.
  3. Ensure the magnet aligns correctly with the metal disc when the door is closed.

Compatibility:

This magnetic door catch is compatible with most types of cabinet doors, drawers, wardrobes, and other furniture where a secure closing mechanism is needed. It is particularly effective for doors that tend to swing open or do not stay closed with standard hinges or latches.

Care:

Clean the magnetic catch periodically with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the electroplated finish. Ensure the magnetic surface and the metal disc remain free of obstructions for optimal performance.
