Our purpose is to fulfill a 40 plus year need for a better magnetic catch. Most magnetic catches are noisy, hard to open and cheap looking on high quality cabinetry. However, all other types of latches such as ball catches, roller catches and turn latches require that you push and follow the door until it is completely closed. Spring loaded hinges were developed to solve this problem, but they fall short of filling all of the requirements of inset cabinetry because an adjustable door stop is still needed.

Another need in the high end custom cabinet industry is a way of preventing warped doors. Our catch employs 2 high strength, high grade permanent neodymium magnets with enough force to pull in mildly warped doors. It also stands to reason that if a magnet can pull in warped doors,

 the constant force will also help prevent most warped doors. We have even seen our magnets pull in unwarped doors to compensate for improperly installed cabinets that are “racked”.

How valuable is the warped door prevention to you? Consider how much is costs to replace a door and how nearly impossible it is to produce a new door that matches well since it is not made out of the same batch of material, may be made and finished by different people and will not have the same amount of aging. This benefit alone could nearly offset the difference in the cost of the soft close magnetic catches, and you also have the awesome quiet, soft close and easy to open action.
