Review on Jiayi 5 Pack Ultra Thin Cabinet Magnetic Catch For Drawer Magnets, Adhesive Latch Closures For Kitchen And Closet Door Closing - Magnetic Door Catch Closer by Victor Anderson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Get's the job done, there is no comparable product

Get's the job done, there is no comparable product except the round cylindrical rare earth magnet type with cup and catch. Rare earth magnet is powerful, perhaps too much, but so much more secure & solid in comparizon with the old school ferrite magnetic catches in plastic case. Nicely machined & finished. Easy screw on installation also includes double stick tape option. Door to face frame gap is about 1/8" due to thickness of combined magnet, catch and probably more if the double stick tape is used . . . I prefer tight 1/16" gaps but I wouldn't bother to mortise these in unless absolutely necessary.Time will tell if magnet will pull out of the base socket, but my guess it will stay there due to strong magnetic force . . . can always fix with a drop of cyanoacrylate glue should the need arise.

Pros
  • Powerful small magnets. I used them on my metal storage containers in the garage.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use with glass doors

While the adhesive pads were not especially sticky, the screw in method produced good results. If the magnets were a little stronger, that would be a nice improvement. But it does the job.
