Review on Jiayi 12 Pack Cabinet Magnetic Catch - Strong Magnetic Door, Drawer And Cupboard Closures For Cabinet Latches - Kitchen Cabinet Closer With Magnetic Catch - Black by Bill Martinson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Would be great if the screws were better.

The magnets themselves are good and the adhesion really helps with lining up both pieces. My only complaint is at the least bit of resistance, the screws strip too easy. I predrilled the hold and tried many bits that 'should' have worked for the size heads these have and almost every screw I've installed has stripped. I've installed 6 so far and they are keeping the cat out of the cabinets, but I'm thinking about buying new screws for the remaining ones I have to install, which will add more to the cost of the project, albeit a little, it would still be nice to actually just have to buy one kit and not worry about it.

Pros
  • Unlike traditional cabinet latches, these magnetic catches don't require any special skills or tools to install
Cons
  • They're easily broken or damaged during shipping.
