FAQs

What is the primary use for these magnets?

These magnets are ideal for holding large prints, plans, and sheets of paper to notice boards or steel wall panels, commonly used by architects and draughtsmen.

How many A4 sheets can one magnet hold?

Each magnet is rated to hold up to 15 sheets of A4 paper against a whiteboard or other steel surface.

What are the dimensions of each magnet?

Each planning magnet is 30mm in diameter and 11mm high.

Are these magnets suitable for refrigerators?

They can be used on refrigerator doors if the door is made of steel. They are not effective on doors made of plastic or aluminum.

Can these magnets be used on non-steel surfaces?

No, these magnets are designed to adhere to ferrous metal (steel) surfaces. They will not work on wood, plastic, glass, or aluminum.

How should I clean the magnets?

Wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth and dry them immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Do these magnets come in other colors?

Yes, this product line is also available in Red, Green, Orange, and Blue variants.

Troubleshooting

Magnets are not holding securely

Ensure the steel surface is clean and dry. Check that the magnet is fully in contact with the surface and not obstructed by the paper's edge or corner. Verify that the surface is indeed magnetic (not plastic or coated aluminum).

Magnets leave marks on the surface

This can happen with very strong magnets on certain finishes. Ensure the surface is kept clean. For sensitive surfaces, consider placing a thin sheet of paper between the magnet and the surface, though this may reduce holding power.

Holding fewer than 15 sheets

The stated capacity is an estimate. Holding power can vary based on paper thickness, surface material, and any coatings or textures on the steel. For maximum hold, ensure the magnet is centered on the paper stack and directly on a clean steel surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent holding capacity for multiple sheets.
  • Professional-grade strength for demanding tasks.
  • Durable and designed for frequent use.
  • Clear visibility and easy handling due to size and color.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for steel surfaces, not all magnetic applications.
  • May be too strong for very thin paper or delicate materials.
  • Limited to holding flat items; not suitable for three-dimensional objects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply place the magnet onto a clean, dry steel surface and attach your documents. Ensure the surface is free of dust or debris for optimal performance.

Compatibility: These magnets are designed to work best on ferrous metal surfaces such as steel whiteboards, filing cabinets, notice boards, and metal walls. They are not recommended for use on refrigerators unless the refrigerator door is made of steel, as many modern refrigerators have plastic or composite exteriors.

Care: To maintain the magnetic strength and appearance, wipe the magnets with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing them to moisture or extreme temperatures. If they become soiled, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
