Don't trust the screws!

So I bought these for a loose trashcan drawer in my kitchen. The adhesives work well and magnetic strength is solid but DON'T TRUST THE SCREWS! As you can see from my photo, I got about 3/4 in and the screw broke in half. Crap hardware but otherwise, a successful purchase.

Pros
  • The magnetic catch is easy to disengage when needed
Cons
  • May not hold up well under heavy use

Like the product, just what I needed. Bought for the adhesive properties. Did not hold. Within days I had to crazy glue the magnets to the doors & shelves. 1-10-23' I just upgraded from 3 to 4 stars. The reason will remain between the seller & I. This seller truly exemplifies the true meaning of customer service. I would not hesitate to do business with this seller again. PS The magnets are incredibly strong. Mark

Pros
  • Good material
Cons
  • May require multiple magnets for larger doors

Adhesive problem for my opinion

Difficult to peel off tape cover. The directions say to open doors after 12 hours. I did that but the magnet pulled the adhesive off the cabinets.

Pros
  • It can be used on sliding doors or drawers
Cons
  • May produce a gap between doors when closed

Not as good as I hoped

The magnets are very strong but I really wanted the adhesive so I wouldn't have to use the screws. The adhesive doesn't hold up so now I'll have to use screws.

Pros
  • Easy to install, works well
Cons
  • Adhesive may not stick well in certain temperatures

Screw heads break off

I wouldn't buy these cabinet magnets again. The magnets work fine but the adhesive does not stick. I tried the screws and every time I screw one in the head of the screw breaks off! Waste of my money

Pros
  • This product works silently, without noisy closures
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain types of walls

Great product, except for.

.the screws. This is exactly what I needed. The magnet is strong, but not too strong. But the problem is, two of the screw heads twisted off, so now I have a screw shank stuck in the wood and no way to get it out without drilling a bigger hole. Screws are made of inferior material, so when installing, beware!

Pros
  • The product's adhesive is strong enough to hold up to frequent use
Cons
  • May be prone to rust or corrosion over time

Finally keeps drawer shut

My kitchen drawer all of the sudden started opening at times, which was annoying.Tried velcro and it worked for a month or two.Found these magnets and my drawer never opens on it's own anymore.Also installed on my spice rack cabinet horizontal drawer today.These are very durable, one would expect these to last a life time.I thought the drawer would stick out a fair amount, but these pieces are fairly thin.I kind of eye balled these to line up level and install and it was pretty easy. I would…

Pros
  • Unlike other catches, this product is ultra-thin and low-profile
Cons
  • May not work well with sliding cabinet doors

Great Idea but. on my review.

This is a great product and a good idea for my kitchen cabinets. However, the adhesion tape that comes with the package does not adhere very well. It came off in one week. I took the 2nd option and used the screws it came with to ensure they stay in place. Upon hand screwing the screws they broke before I even got halfway into the wood cabinet. I will have to go to the local hardware store to get screws that won't break. This is unfortunate, otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. Deduct 2…

Pros
  • You can install the magnetic catch in seconds without the need for tools
Cons
  • May not work well with certain types of cabinet hardware

Use your own screws!

The strength of the magnet is good for the size. The adhesive is strong as well. The only and most important issue is that the screws are junk. When the first one broke a I screwed it in by hand, I decided to predrill the holes. This did not help and the screws still twisted into 2. USE YOUR OWN SCREWS

Pros
  • The magnetic catch is easy to adjust for different door and cabinet sizes
Cons
  • May not hold up well with constant exposure to sunlight

Good, don't use adhesive

The magnets are strong and work. Just don't use the adhesive, use the screws instead cause the adhesive is just poor quality. If you aren't planning on screwing something in then I'd recommend you get another brand. But it does what its supposed to do other than that tiny hiccup.

Pros
  • Powerful Adhesive: The double-side adhesive tape is strong enough to stay cabinet shut without drilling screw holes to screw it in. (Please note: the included adhesive comes in red and white colors and will be shipped randomly). Time saving and also protect your expensive cabinet from damage. Also provide screws for your installation. Please close and open the door after 12 HOURS in order to make the adhesive compound adhere well on this surface.
Cons
  • Adhesive may not hold up over time

Performed well and fixed the problem!

I had a couple dresser drawers that were nit staying closed. These worked great and were easy to install. That's my review!

Pros
  • The magnetic catch is perfect for people with disabilities, arthritis, or mobility issues
Cons
  • May be prone to cracking or breaking over time

Great product, crappy screws.

The magnets work great, but the heads snapped off of five screws just using a screwdriver. Ended up running to the local hardware store for better ones. Can’t say anything bad at all about the latches though. Work perfectly.

Pros
  • What You Get: 5 x Medicine Cabinet Magnets Catch; 20 x Screws; 10 x Double-sided Adhesive
Cons
  • May not be suitable for high-end kitchens

Not as good as they used to be

I had purchased these magnets in the past and was so impressed by the strength of both the magnet and the adhesion. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed this time. I used the magnets with the purpose of keeping a cabinet closed but they did not work as needed. The adhesive was useless and the magnet strength was much weaker than the previous purchases. I will be returning.

Pros
  • It is perfect for those who have difficulty with traditional closures
Cons
  • May scratch delicate surfaces

Repeat purchase - these are great!

I am totally satisfied with these magnets. I installed them a year ago using the enclosed screws to secure cabinet doors and drawers, and they still work perfectly like day one. Just the right pull for a kitchen drawer and cabinet. I am about to make a repeat purchase for more cabinet doors. The tape won't hold long if the cabinet is opened frequently, so use the screws. If you follow the instructions, and with a little pre-planning, they are easy to install.

Pros
  • This product offers exceptional magnetic strength
Cons
  • May fall off over time

For some of my cabinets the magnets worked . .

But for a significant number, the magnet was too strong—it kept on coming off from the door. We really had to "fight” with a number of these just to get them to eventually work for us.

Pros
  • The magnetic catch helps keep your cabinets and drawers clean and organized
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use with soft close hardware

Great magnets good for me

The magnets work as intended. But I received a used product. 2/4 of the magnets had adhesive residue on them, telling me they were used at some point and returned. There were also the incorrect number of adhesives. It's disappointing when you buy a new item but receive used ones.UPDATE: The company messaged me and provided a new set of magnets. They arrived and are indeed new. 10/10 customer service. I used the magnets to keep a cabinet closed for a few days now and have been happy with the…

Pros
  • Catches
Cons
  • Adhesive may not stick well on painted surfaces

Works great! for my opinion

It was very easy to install. I had to use the screws on one plate as the adhesive wouldn’t hold. I am so pleased to have found this product

Pros
  • I used this product at the bottom of my dbl barn doors to hold inline, and together. Good product
Cons
  • May not be easy to operate

Work like a charm - firm cabinet door closure

Several of the cabinet doors in our kitchen did not completely close on their own. Most were about 1/4" open, not enough to notice really, but nevertheless a minor problem. Looking on Revain, I found these. I'd used magnet closures in the past, but not this type. Worth a try. First off, don't use the red stick on tape pieces. Use the screws. The stick ons (from many reviews) don't last. you need to take your time and measure carefully for mounting each two piece set of magnets (one on the…

Pros
  • Worked on my older kitchen cabinets.
Cons
  • Magnet may break or chip easily

Perfect for Rental in my review

Super easy to install with adhesive tape.No drilling required which is great since we are renting and needed a way for the cabinets to stay closed.

Pros
  • Easy install, works great on the cabinet doors in my bathroom!
Cons
  • May damage surfaces when removed

Works find in my review

These works fine. But note that the supplied adhesive strips don't hold. You have to screw these items into place. That's okay . screws are stronger and longer-lasting, so all is well.But note that it's tricky to align one piece on the cabinet base with the other piece on the door.

Pros
  • Not as strong of a hold as I was hoping. My cats can still open the cabinets with these installed.
Cons
  • May not be aesthetically pleasing
