FAQs
Can this push latch be used on any size door?
This push latch is designed primarily for medium-sized doors. It may not provide sufficient force for very heavy doors or enough reach for very large doors.
Do I have to drill holes to install this?
No, you can install it using the included adhesive for a drill-free experience. However, mounting screws are also provided if you prefer a more permanent installation.
What does '3 mm compression stroke' mean during installation?
It refers to the small amount of space (3mm) that needs to be compressed or available for the latch mechanism to function correctly when the door is closed. This ensures the spring mechanism has room to engage.
How many push latches are included in a pack?
The product information indicates that 4 x Push to open door catches are included in each package.
Will this work with hinges that have a self-closing feature?
This push latch is suitable for use with hinges that do *not* have a self-closing feature. It's designed to work with standard hinges where the door stays open on its own until pushed closed.
What is the lifespan of the spring mechanism?
The powerful piston/spring mechanism is designed to ensure a lifetime of up to 20,000 open and close cycles.
Does it come with all necessary mounting hardware?
Yes, the package typically includes mounting screws, anchors, and adhesive for installation.
Troubleshooting
Door does not open when pushed.
Ensure the latch mechanism is not obstructed. Check if the strike plate is correctly aligned with the plunger. Verify that the door is not too heavy for the spring tension. Re-check installation to ensure the 3mm compression stroke was maintained if applicable.
Door does not close securely.
Ensure the magnetic strike plate is correctly positioned to engage with the magnet in the latch. Check for any debris around the magnet or strike plate. For doors prone to drifting, ensure the plunger is fully extending and engaging the strike plate.
Adhesive installation is not holding.
Ensure the mounting surfaces are clean, dry, and smooth before applying the adhesive. Press firmly and allow the recommended curing time (24 hours) before operating the door.
Latch mechanism feels stiff.
Check for any misalignments between the latch and the strike plate. Ensure there are no obstructions within the plunger mechanism. Lightly lubricate the plunger if necessary, ensuring any excess is wiped away.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Adhesive Installation: Clean the surfaces thoroughly. Peel off the backing from the adhesive and firmly press the latch and strike plate into place. Allow adhesive to set for 24 hours before use.
