While similar to other door catches and latches, magnetic options provide an unmatched seal by pairing an embedded magnet latch with a ferrous strike plate. The resulting magnetism holds the door in place when closed, preventing any unintentional swinging or opening. Simply push or pull on the door t break the magnetic forces between the two parts. As you close the door, the parts will reconnect.

A magnetic latch typically refers to the complete piece of hardware, which includes two parts: a magnetized latch and a ferrous metal plate (strike plate). A magnetic door catch may only refer to the magnetized component, which you would affix to a door or enclosure lid. The catch is attracted to an adjacent metal surface.

Magnetic door catches are the magnetic portion of the overall door latch. It allows you to secure an enclosure, lid, or door without manually manipulating a locking mechanism. You can operate the access point with just one hand, which provides convenience and ease of access and ensures that the door is secure when not in use.

A magnetic latch has applications in a broad range of industries, including the aerospace, automotive, and commonly in industrial sectors. For example, you can attach a magnetic door catch to an enclosure to offer a secure fit and promote convenience. This hardware is also often used in glove boxes, compartments, and other small enclosures.

SPEP offers a wide range of magnetic catches. Our most popular design is the surface magnetic latch. We also have a recessed magnetic latch. Here is some essential info about both types:

• Surface magnetic latch: As the name suggests, a surface latch is affixed to the exterior of a door and an adjacent wall or surface. It's the easiest to install and maintain, making it a great option for general use. 
• Recessed magnetic latch: The recessed variant is laid into the door, which helps prevent snags in high-traffic areas. Many clients find the recessed version more appealing for its aesthetic, as well as its uses like recreational vehicles (RVs), glove boxes, and enclosures.

Thanks to our extensive digital catalog, you can freely explore both types of magnetic latches. In doing so, you will be able to determine which component is the better fit for your project.

SPEP offers access hardware in a wide range of materials and finishes, based on your business’ unique aesthetic and performance needs. Our most robust latches consist of nickel-plated die-cast zinc, and our more durable strike plates are made from zinc-plated steel. These components are durable and corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for rigorous or harsh conditions.

However, we also have more cost-effective plastic latches, which can be a great option for applications that are mildly to moderately demanding. These components come in multiple colors, including black and white.

The specific finish and material options available will vary depending on the latch’s model and style. For finishes on metal components, we offer:

• Nickel-plated
• Zinc-plated
• Milled

You should choose SPEP because our expert team of in-house engineers is eager to assist with all of your custom magnetic door catch design needs. We can modify the dimensions of existing components, customizing the material, finish, and locking mechanism adaptations based on your unique project specifications.
