FAQs

Are screws included with the OKODOKO latch?

No, mounting screws are not included with this product. You will need to provide your own appropriate screws for installation.

What material is the latch made of?

The OKODOKO latch is made of durable plastic.

What are the dimensions of the latch?

The dimensions are approximately 45mm when closed, extending to 56mm when open, with a width of 38mm and a depth of 19mm.

Can this be used on glass cabinets?

This product is primarily designed for wooden or MDF furniture. Special mounting considerations or adhesives would be required for glass, which are not provided.

How does the soft-close feature work?

The soft-close mechanism is integrated into the latch to gently slow down the door's closing speed, preventing it from slamming shut.

Is this suitable for heavy doors?

While designed for versatility, this latch is best suited for standard-weight cabinet and drawer doors. Very heavy doors might require a more robust or specialized hardware solution.

How do I clean the latch?

Clean the latch with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials.

Troubleshooting

Door does not open when pushed

Ensure the strike plate is properly aligned with the magnetic latch. Check that the latch mechanism is securely mounted and that the push rod has enough extension to engage and release.

Door slams shut instead of soft closing

Verify that the soft-close damper is functioning correctly. Ensure the door is not too heavy for the damper's resistance. Check for any obstructions that might prevent the damper from engaging fully.

Latch does not hold the door closed

Confirm that the magnetic strike plate is correctly positioned and securely attached to the door. Ensure the magnet is strong enough for the door's weight. Check if the latch mechanism is fully extended.

Mechanism feels stiff or difficult to push

Inspect for any debris or misalignment within the mechanism. Ensure the mounting is not too tight, which could cause binding.
