Review on Jiayi 6 Pack Heavy Duty Magnetic Push To Open Cabinet Latch Hardware - Touch Latches For Large Door, Kitchen Drawer Push Release Catch Pop Out Latch by Roberto Nastanovich

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Side mounting orientation is key to getting latching mechanism to work properly

I used 2 of these to secure the plumbing access panel at the front of our master bath jacuzzi. It took me awhile to figure out why the latching mechanism wouldn't catch when I mounted it on the left side of a 2x4" board that is part of the front frame surrounding the jacuzzi but works when mounted to the rigth side. It worked fine when not mounted but not when mounted. I took one apart to see how it operates. There is a plastic round piece that rotates in a hole in one side of the housing. The other end of the piece has a X shape that catches on the frame when latched in place. There is just enough play where the X shape was falling away from the catch on the frame. When I mounted it on the right side, it would fall towards the catch and engage every time. It has a fairly narrow caulk width, so without the caulk the gap around the access panel is not that noticable and makes for quick access if ever needed.

Pros
  • Great magnet strength, very long travel. Used to pull in hanging desk door.
Cons
  • The metal parts can rust over time, causing unsightly stains and potentially affecting the function of the latch

In order for these to work, your door will have a small gap when latched (closed). I can see the magnet through my gap and I don’t like that. There is no adjustment like some of the other brands. However, they are heavy duty and great quality metal.
