This magnetic door catch system provides a clean, handle-free solution for modern cabinet design. The push-to-open mechanism operates through a simple gentle push on the door surface, which releases a magnetic catch and allows the built-in spring to push the door open approximately 3 centimetres, providing sufficient space to grip the door edge.
Construction and Materials:
The latch features durable ABS plastic construction combined with nickel-plated iron components and high-strength neodymium magnets. Each unit measures 85 × 10 × 15 millimeters, designed with a slim profile to fit narrow door frames without protruding. The compact design makes it suitable for European-style cabinets and frameless cabinet constructions.
Mechanism and Operation:
The spring-loaded mechanism provides reliable push-to-open functionality whilst the integrated neodymium magnet securely holds doors closed when not in use. The adjustable catch head allows 1-3 millimetres of fine-tuning to compensate for minor door misalignment during installation, ensuring consistent performance and proper door gap spacing.
Each package includes comprehensive installation hardware: magnetic latches, round iron strike plates, self-adhesive iron plates, and mounting screws with 3.5mm diameter holes. Users can choose between permanent screw mounting for maximum holding strength on wooden cabinet doors, or self-adhesive installation for quick, tool-free setup on glass doors or aluminium frames.
Applications and Compatibility:
Designed for small to medium-sized doors found on kitchen cabinets, display cabinets, bookcases, sideboards, buffet cabinets, and storage units. The system works with both left-hand and right-hand hung doors, making it universally compatible. Best suited for lightweight cabinet doors and interior cabinet applications where a minimalist aesthetic is desired.
Performance Specifications:
Each latch is mechanically tested for over 20,000 operations, ensuring long-term reliability. The magnetic holding strength is optimised for standard lightweight cabinet doors, though heavier applications may require multiple units or alternative hardware solutions. The spring mechanism provides consistent 3cm door opening distance for reliable finger access.
