FAQs

What is the magnetic force of this door catch?

The magnetic force is rated at 5.5lb, providing a strong hold to keep doors securely closed.

What materials is the magnetic catch made from?

It is constructed from high-quality zinc alloy with high-grade electroplating, making it wear-resistant, rust-proof, and anti-corrosion.

How many catches are included in one set?

One set includes 8 magnetic cabinet door catches.

Are there different screw sizes provided?

Yes, the set includes two types of screws: Screw A for the metal plate and Screw B (longer) for the catch, which is particularly recommended for barn doors.

Can this be used in a bathroom?

Yes, due to its rustproof and anti-corrosion properties, it is suitable for use in humid environments like bathrooms.

What is the purpose of the oblong hole?

The oblong hole allows for easy back-and-forth adjustment during installation, ensuring optimal alignment between the catch and the metal disc for a secure closure.

Does it come with installation instructions?

Yes, a magnetic door catch installation instruction is included in the gift box to guide you through the setup process.

Troubleshooting

Door not staying closed

Ensure the metal disc and magnetic catch are properly aligned. Check if the correct screw length (Screw B for barn doors) is used and if it's securely fastened. The magnetic force may be insufficient for very heavy doors.

Difficulty opening the door

If the door is too hard to open, the magnet might be too strong for the door's weight or the installation is too tight. Try slightly adjusting the position of the catch or disc to reduce the magnetic pull.

Rust or corrosion observed

Although designed to be rustproof, extreme conditions may affect the finish. Clean gently with a soft cloth and ensure the area is dry. Recheck that the product is indeed made of zinc alloy with high-grade electroplating as specified.

Screws not holding properly

Ensure you are screwing into solid wood or a securely mounted anchor. If the mounting surface is soft or damaged, use appropriate wood filler or anchors for a secure fit.
