Great easy to use product
We felt we should have something to hold the door closed when we took out the garbage or meeting the UPS driver in the driveway, as this door does not have a typical handle on it. The magnet was the solution, and it works great. We have not tried yet to leave it unlocked to see how much wind it would take to blow it open, however the magnet seems to hold strong and with them being offset, seems to pull it to the closed position keeping seals tight. It was really easy, 5 minutes for install and is hardly visible even when the door is open (cant see at all when closed)

Glad I found these!
We had the “standard” ball-catch type of latches on our pantry doors and man they were a pain in the arse only a month into a new home.Found these on a YouTube video and here on Amazon. Easy to install, strong magnets and quiet! Great product!!!

Great design, so glad I found it!
The media could not be loaded. Love them!! I hated the previous ball catches, noisy at night and always needing adjusting it seemed, hated the dragging sound also. These took a bit of effort to install, not terrible, just a bit more effort then I was expecting. Lining up drilled holes on top of door and in frame, plus needing a 15/16 inch bit? Really, who has that... I used a one inch and it worked but had to add a bit of plastic to the side of the hole to make it more snug. My doors were hollow core, so I used a dry wall anchor to screw into, worked great. Very happy with result, neat and professional looking. So happy with how much better it works as well!! A bit pricey, cost $30 to do a double door but worth spending it I suppose. If your doors are heavy or open easily I would recommend the heavy duty design, this was fine for my light weight hollow core doors But the magnets had to be very close to prevent my cat from being able to pull it open from the bottom as he likes to do :). The video shows how they work, they are actually very quiet but my video sounds noisy when they aren’t at all

Great quality, truly silent!
Truly Silent! I love these catches. I tried another "silent" version, but they were not really silent. The magnets snapped together and were quite loud. These are truly silent if installed correctly and have great holding power.

Works well, magnets are very powerful. Need to space them close to each other for good holding
Be careful when working with these because if the round magnet drops down into the little metal pocket / holder / shroud as it is extremely difficult to pry it back out. It comes with a little spacer in between the two that I accidentally removed. As I pulled that spacer out, the magnet dropped in and the attraction was REALLY strong. I wanted to use the round magnet as is without the metal pocket as the magnet has a center hole with a bevel countersink so the screw rests below the surface. (I ended up using pliers to tear off the metal shroud.)Kit includes double sided sticky tape to tenporarily hold down the rectangular metal plate that is on the opposite side to the magnet but you also need to use the screws they provide. The pull of the magnet is much stronger than the tape can resist.In order to get a good hold, you need to have the magnet and the metal plates mounted within a mm or so. This may require some trial and error and placing shims made of thin cardboard underneath. See photos. The magnet plates are quite thick. As you can see from the photos, it scraped a few times before I got it spaced out correctly. It is not really a novice DIY project as I had to countersink the round magnet also. In the spring I will sand down the wood a bit and restain it so it looks better.

Great and cheap!
This works great for a main door. My door is slightly off from the frame. So my new electronic lock wouldn’t work. I used this on the side door frame and the facing door to help pull the bottom into alignment and it worked!You need a 15/16” forstner bit for a perfect fit but a 1 inch will work too.

The product is exactly as advertised
I needed to keep the gate to the pool area closed without the cumbersome latch, so when it was in use you could easily swing it open. In the place of the fixed latch I put one magnet ,as the gate door closes with the metal fixture that goes into the latch, it shuts securely, and it takes a reasonable amount of force to open from the inside. It was an easy solution because the magnet is strong.

Works great, needs a special size bit
These are easy to install but they do require a 15/16” forstner bit. You might get away with a 1”bit but honestly, every 1/16” counts when you are drilling into the top of a standard-thickness door — it’s too easy to get too close to the edge. For functional purposes, they are the bomb! So much better than ball catches for double doors, and even great for single doors where you don’t have a standard knob. I have two linen closets with very narrow doors and handles instead of full-bore doorknobs. Without the magnet catches there would be nothing to make them stay closed unless I put a bolt or latch of some sort on them, which is just one more thing to deal with. Magnet catches were the way to go. They sit flush with the door and the jamb so you don’t even see them and there isn’t a blocky magnet hanging in the way.
