Fantastic Ball Latch Alternative

I installed this on my French doors that used to have a ball latch. Thats much better. Installation is relatively easy, but a perfect fit will require a different size drill bit. It's not a big problem because 1 inch is close enough. I recommend wearing gloves when adding adhesive pads as they are thin metal and the magnets can pull on them in a way that could cut you. The attraction of the magnet is quite strong. keeps the door closed like a bullet trap, but opens much more gently and almostโ€ฆ

Works fine but please fix what's included!

Works reasonably well overall. Installation is easy - if you have the tools (shovel required!). The plastic discs for adjusting the strength of the magnets are very good. The design is smart and everything is well hidden after installation. The only thing that was annoying (hence the two stars) was the lack of Poron xrd pads, which are clearly marked as INCLUDED in the picture on the Revain site. However, they are NOT included in the supplied plastic box and the website states that seals areโ€ฆ

Great design, glad I found it!

I love them! I hated previous ball grips that were noisy at night and always had to be adjusted, and seemed to hate the drag noise as well. They took a bit of effort to install, not terrible, just a little more effort than I expected. Are you lining up the drill holes in the top of the door and frame and need a 15/16" drill bit? In fact who has. I used an inch and it worked, but I had to add some plastic on the side of the hole to make it tighter. My doors were hollow so I used a drywall anchor

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Doubtful

Opposites attract, yo

These are amazing magnetic clasps. My old French doors to my den were junk, as were the ball locks. Always had to tie down and flex the doors before they latched. Even after greasing and lowering the spheres, they were still a no-brainer to close. Enter these magnets. I have replaced my doors with heavy duty beveled glass core doors. I stuck these magnets in both doors and frames and plugged in the bumpers. Wow. What an improvement. The doors now close tightly with little effort. When closingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • No

This item is everything I hoped it would be. I installed them on the double doors of the French style closet at the entrance to my bathroom. They replaced the spring-loaded ball detents that make too much noise and disrupt my sleep during my husband's frequent late-night trips to the bathroom. I used to know exactly how many times my spouse got up at night to go to the bathroom, but now I have no idea. life change? May be. After all, sleep is important. I chose the PLS-24 PRO over the standardโ€ฆ
