Good metal magnet catches

I used these to replace the broken plastic ones on the shutters. The Arizona sun kills the plastic ones. I hope these metal ones last longer. Although both the old ones and these metal ones claim 1.5" width to the mounting slots, there was a minor difference. I suspect a metric to English conversion was the culprit. This made using the existing mounting holes and screws difficult. But once installed, these 15 lbs size catches worked perfect to hold both the single and the double shutters in…

Pros
  • The catches are also easily removable, making them a practical choice if you're renting or moving in the near future
Cons
  • They're not suitable for cabinets/drawers that are frequently exposed to water.

ALL METAL CONSTRUCTION. STRONG MAGNETS. SCREWS INCLUDED

Only a single caviat, and that is the adhesive strips that come with them. Don't do yourself the wrong of trying to use them. The magnet strength [excellent] is sufficient to pull these things right off the wall or cabinet or drawer, etc. Use the screws and you've got top value an a top valued price.

Pros
  • The Jiayi 12 Pack Cabinet Magnetic Catch is sold with a satisfaction guarantee, giving you peace of mind with your purchase
Cons
  • They're not effective at keeping out dust or dirt.

Alignment is key! best in my review

I put these both top and bottom of a heavy wooden rolling equipment cabinet that has some flex. While one catch at the top did not seem adequate, placing one at both the top and bottom worked out great. However, I really had to work to get these positioned properly because they do not have the typical springy self-seating alignment action. In the end, it takes a good tug to open the cabinet doors, but they definitely stay shut when I roll the big cabinet around, plus the price was great!

Pros
  • The black finish of the magnetic catches is sleek and stylish, making them a great match for any cabinet design
Cons
  • They're too small and fiddly to install properly.

Good but not great for my opinion

Has others have mentioned the screws are absolutely horrible. I am a muscular grown man and my forearms are throbbing after putting these in. The magnets are great. Once you get them installed they work and look great. Would I buy them again? Yes, but I would be dreading installing them

Pros
  • The Jiayi 12 Pack Cabinet Magnetic Catch is a smart and practical investment for any homeowner looking to add an extra layer of security to their cabinets
Cons
  • They're not suitable for use with cabinets/drawers that require a key or combination lock for security

Great but not large enough

These door magnets were very surprisingly strong & made very well. I bought them to replace door magnets on a furniture console cabinet. Unfortunately they were too small for that because my cabinet door magnets are larger & deeper in width. I did measure & thought these would fit perfect. I would order them again if I needed different door or drawer magnets. I highly recommend them but they just didn’t fit my space. That’s why I gave them 5 stars.

Pros
  • ‎Stainless Steel
Cons
  • They're not compatible with magnetic knife strips or other magnetic storage solutions.

good cabinet magnets

We had roller catches on our cabinets and it drove me absolutely nuts with how loud they were when opening and closing the doors (especially for this midnight snacks). We removed them and replaced them with these, which still make noise when opening and closing but not as loud.The good: Cheap and effective for kitchen cabinetsThe bad: Alignment can be a touch difficult.Be aware:With any cabinet closing system you need space for the door to close, so if you put the housing too close on the edge…

Pros
  • What You Get: 12 x 46mm Black Cabinet Latches and Catches; 12 x Double Sided Adhesives; Screws; Our fan-favorite 12-month warranty and friendly customer service.
Cons
  • They require a significant amount of force to open when they've been installed too close together.

Screw Mounted - my new review

These are Screw mounted not stick ups. They supply some thin not very sticky strips that are basically useless! ‎7.17 x 4.57 x 1.1 inches.

Pros
  • ‎7.17 x 4.57 x 1.1 inches
Cons
  • They're not strong enough to support cabinets that are frequently overloaded.

Tough to align/install the magnetic strip.

The 2 parts the make up the magnet are 1, the magnet which typically is installed on the cabinet carcass and 2 the magnetic flat piece the attaches to the cabinet door. This second part requires a considerable amount of measuring and time to layout and install correctly. What would make this much easier if the manufacturer would have the flat piece made with small sharp points that could be transferred to the door after the magnet was attached to the cabinet. This would eliminate any need to…

Pros
  • The catches are easy to install, with screws and mounting plates included in the package
Cons
  • They're easily knocked out of place by accidental bumps or collisions.
