FAQs
Can I use this on heavy wooden doors?
This catch is designed for small to medium-sized applications and may not hold heavy solid wood doors effectively.
Does this product come with screws?
Yes, the kit includes the necessary fixing screws for standard installation.
Can this be installed on existing furniture with handles?
It is recommended to remove existing handles if you intend to use the push-to-open feature, as the mechanism relies on the user pushing the door directly.
Is the white finish paintable?
While the finish is durable, it is not specifically designed to be painted, and paint may interfere with the moving parts.
How many catches do I need for a tall wardrobe door?
For larger or taller doors, it is often recommended to use two catches for even pressure and stability.
What tools are required for installation?
You will typically need a screwdriver and a measuring tape or ruler to ensure precise alignment.
Troubleshooting
Door does not pop open after being pushed
Check if the catch is mounted too deep or too far forward; adjust the mounting screws to align correctly with the door strike plate.
Magnetic catch is not holding the door closed
Ensure the magnetic surface is clean and that the door is making full contact with the magnet when closed.
Mechanism feels stuck
Remove debris or dust buildup and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the moving parts.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Enables a modern, handle-free cabinet design
- Strong magnetic grip keeps doors firmly closed

- Not suitable for very heavy or large doors

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation Steps:
- Measure and mark the desired position on the inner cabinet frame.
- Align the catch with the corresponding position on the inside of the door.
- Use the provided screws to secure the catch firmly to the cabinet frame.
- Test the touch-release action to ensure the door opens and closes with minimal friction.
Compatibility: This catch is compatible with most standard hinged cabinet doors. Ensure your cabinet design allows for a small 'gap' to accommodate the push-release travel distance.
Care: Periodically wipe the catch with a dry cloth to remove dust. If the mechanism feels stiff over time, a light spray of silicone-based lubricant on the spring can restore smooth movement.
