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 Tony Guernsey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

[Updated] No More Self-Opening Drawers, but Conditions Apply!

I was dealing with the case of annoying self-opening drawers and decided to put an end to it! I decided to give these magnets a try — beats drilling holes into your furniture! I must say I’m very pleased!The packaging is simple. Each pair (I went with the 10 pack) came individually packed with the exact amount of adhesive stripes but with extra drilling screws. So far, I used the adhesive strips, and I really hope they will last! Otherwise, I’ll drill the screws! I guess that tells you how annoyed I had been!I religiously followed the instructions while installing. I cleared the dust out of the desired area, installed the magnets, and left the adhesive to stick for more than 12 hours. The magnets are strong and require (a minimal amount of) force to detach! As you can see in the picture, the magnets need some space, but I can live with that![Update] The adhesive strips do not work. For the last couple of weeks, I am observing the strips are coming off. I am taking a star off because it was THE selling point for me. I will have to use the drill -- something I wanted to avoid all along.

Pros
  • It is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional cabinet closures
Cons
  • May not work well with certain types of laminate or veneer
