Many magnetic door catches offer two installation options: no‑drill adhesive mounting and screw-based mounting. Packages often include adhesive strips for a tool-free fit and optional screws for a more permanent installation.
Magnetic door catches are commonly made from plastics (including ABS), metal, stainless steel, and various steel alloys.
Holding force varies by model. Examples in the data range from ultra‑thin catches rated around 4 kg (≈8.8 lb) to products described as secure under about 20 lb, with some childproof locks advertised up to 30 lb of holding force.
They’re commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms and pantries and on bedroom furniture such as cabinets, drawers, closets, wardrobes and storage units. Related accessories are also used for RVs and household refrigerators.
Many sets include adhesive strips, screws, strike plates and an instruction manual. Child-safety options may also include a magnetic key and an adhesive key holder.
Many magnetic catches are designed to be discreet: some install inside cabinets so they’re invisible from the outside, and ultra‑thin, low‑profile models blend with furniture surfaces.
They are sold as single units and in multi-packs; common pack sizes shown include 4, 6, 12 and 24.
