Our Magnetic Door Latch kits and Magnetic Catches contain Ferrite (Ceramic) or Rare Earth (Neodymium) magnetic material.
Ceramic magnets cast a wide magnetic field. Devices with brittle ceramic magnets often utilise a steel channel that shields the magnet from any damage. Neodymium magnetic door latches and catches are powerful magnets that have stronger pull forces for more specialised purposes.
Magnetic Catches and Latch Kits can be used as doorstops This helps to prevent doors blowing open or closed and allows staff to enter a storeroom with their hands full. Neodymium Magnetic Latches have extra strength for cupboard door latches and storage compartments inside vans, boats or other more specialised applications. Some kits are specially designed to be recessed into cabinetry and act as a magnetic lock by attracting a metal striker plate attached to the cupboard when the door is closed.
