Key Part Missing

Metal Strike Plate is NOT included, it's just a magnet. Seems like a pretty stupid place to cut. Without the metal part, it's useless if you intend to use it for its intended purpose - to hold a door or cabinet closed.

Pros
  • Industrial Equipment
Cons
  • Unbelievable Price

strong magnets

Good strong magnets. I can't separate them directly when they're pressed face to face against each other. If I twist or articulate them in any way, they are easy to separate.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • Some little things

Liked the 20lb magnet goal post, but maybe the 50lb goal post would be a better choice.

I used this item to hook a vertical wire mesh gate post. There was no separate plate to attach to the magnet, only the stand itself (which seemed quite sensitive to the magnet). The longitudinal direction of the magnet was perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the post (post diameter was 1.5 inches). This means that the alignment is gentle (e.g. if the gate moves slightly). The magnet gripped well enough (barely) but to do it again I would use the 50lb version of this product. Placing…

Pros
  • Latch
