What size magnetic catches do I need for my kitchen cabinets?
The size of the magnetic catches you need for your kitchen cabinets depends on various factors. You should consider the size of your doors, the weight of the doors, and the desired holding force of the catches.
In general, magnetic catches for kitchen cabinets come in a standard size. On average, you need magnetic catches that are about 45-50mm long, 15-20mm wide, and 13-15mm high. This size is suitable for kitchen cabinets in most cases.
- The thickness of the cabinet door: The thicker the door, the stronger the magnet should be. If you have a particularly heavy cabinet door, you need a stronger magnetic catch.
- Frequency of use: If the cabinets are opened and closed often, it is advisable to use stronger magnets to ensure a longer service life.
- Position of the catches: Are the catches aligned exactly opposite each other, or is there an offset? If there is an offset, a stronger magnet is necessary to keep the door securely closed.
