Cabinet magnets, also known as cabinet door magnets or magnetic cabinet catches, are small magnetic devices used in cabinetry and furniture to keep cabinet doors and drawers securely closed. They consist of two components: a magnet and a metal plate or strike plate.

How do cabinet magnets work and how do they keep the cabinet door tightly closed?

 

Cabinet magnets work through the principle of magnetic attraction to keep cabinet doors tightly closed.

 

Magnet and Strike Plate: Cabinet magnets consist of two main components. The first component is the magnet, which is typically encased in a plastic or metal housing and is mounted on the inside of the cabinet door. The second component is the metal strike plate, which is installed on the inside of the cabinet frame or the corresponding cabinet door frame.

 

Magnetic Attraction: When the cabinet door is closed, the magnet on the door is brought into proximity with the metal strike plate on the cabinet frame. The magnet generates a magnetic field.

 

Attractive Force: The magnetic field created by the magnet attracts the metal strike plate, creating a strong attractive force between the two components. This force effectively pulls the cabinet door toward the cabinet frame and holds it securely closed.

 

Secure Closure: The magnet's attractive force ensures that the cabinet door remains tightly closed, preventing it from accidentally swinging open. This secure closure is especially useful in environments where cabinet doors need to stay shut, such as in kitchens and bathrooms.

 

 

The strength of the magnet and the alignment between the magnet and the strike plate play key roles in determining how tightly the cabinet door is held closed. Cabinet magnets come in various sizes and strengths to accommodate different types of cabinets and drawers. They are a simple and effective way to provide secure closure and easy access to cabinet contents without the need for visible external hardware like knobs or handles.
