Review on Magnetic Push Latches for Cabinets: Jiayi 6 Pack Push Open Cabinet Hardware for Convenient Kitchen Drawer Closure by Michael Richardson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

HeavyDuty is great for large boxes.

So far so good. I installed them on 24 x 24 x 8 inch drawers so I had to use 2 for each drawer so it would open fast enough. I also used the old drawer slides so I'm sure if they were new and very smooth I could get away with just one latch. The picture with the drawers 6 inches open shows how far the latches pull the drawer out. Only gave it 4 stars because one of the threads on the micro-adjust latch had snapped so when the drawer was closed the latch head slid back to its shortest position. Most of them are already installed, so I didn't want to take them apart to get them all back. In addition, they can be removed somewhat awkwardly after being inserted into the holder. It's probably a good thing that they come in very handy for actual use, but in terms of installation, every time I had to remove them with a flat head I was worried that I would break the latch. I didn't break anything so maybe that's a plus for the stiffness.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
