Magnetic Catch 45 x 15 x 14mm Strong Cupboard Door Catch Durable Cabinet Closure Hardware

In the world of functional cabinetry, the 45mm Magnetic cupboard Catch is a fundamental component for maintaining clean lines and functional security. Unlike mechanical latches, a magnetic catch provides a “silent” closure with no moving parts to jam or wear out. This 45mm version is the industry standard for domestic cabinetry, offering enough magnetic resistance to hold heavy MDF or solid timber doors, yet remaining easy enough to pull open without straining the hinges.

Constructed with a high-performance ferrite magnet housed in a durable polymer or metal casing, this 45mm Magnetic cupboard Catch is built to withstand thousands of “open-close” cycles. Whether you are replacing a worn-out kitchen catch or installing new hardware in a high-vibration environment like a caravan or boat, the 45mm magnetic catch provides a consistent, reliable “click” every time.

Why the 45mm Magnetic cupboard Catch is the Professional Choice

• Compact 45mm Footprint: The 45 x 15 x 14mm dimensions make it small enough to remain discreet while being large enough to house a powerful magnet.

• High Pull-Force Magnet: Specifically calibrated to hold cabinet doors firmly against the frame, even if the timber has slight natural warping.

• Durable Housing: Made from impact-resistant materials that won’t crack or degrade over time, ensuring the magnet stays securely in place.

• Elongated Fixing Slots: The mounting holes are slotted, allowing for 2-3mm of lateral adjustment during installation—essential for aligning the catch perfectly with the strike plate.

• Universal Strike Plate: Supplied with a nickel-plated steel strike plate that resists rust and provides a wide contact area for maximum magnetic grip.

• Versatile Application: Ideal for kitchen cupboards, bathroom vanities, wardrobe doors, and interior storage units in RVs and marine vessels.

Professional Installation and Adjustment Tips

Achieving a perfectly silent and secure closure with the 45mm Magnetic Cupboard Catch requires precise alignment. Follow these professional tips:

1. The “Paper Test” for Alignment: Once the catch is installed on the frame, place the strike plate against the magnet. Close the door to mark exactly where the plate hits. Use the slotted holes to adjust the catch forward or backward until the door sits perfectly flush with the frame.

2. Avoid “Over-Tightening”: When fixing the catch to the carcass, do not overtighten the screws immediately. Keep them slightly loose so you can utilize the adjustment slots for a 100% accurate fit.

3. Pilot Holes for Softwood: Even for small cabinet screws, drilling a 2mm pilot hole prevents the timber from splitting, especially when working near the edge of a shelf or door stile.

4. Correct Placement: For tall wardrobe doors, install two 45mm catches—one at the top and one at the bottom—to prevent the door from “bowing” over time. For standard kitchen cupboards, a single catch placed opposite the handle is sufficient.

5. Cleaning the Contact Face: If the magnetic pull feels weaker over time, it is usually due to a buildup of kitchen grease or dust. A quick wipe with a damp microfiber cloth will restore the full magnetic contact.
