591 Magnetic Catch, Aluminum Polybag

591 Magnetic Catch For Light-Duty Holding

591 magnetic catch by EPCO is a light pull force magnetic catch that holds doors or panels with controlled resistance, which matters when you want parts to stay closed yet open easily without stressing hinges or hardware. The catch uses a drive in magnet casing, so the housing presses into a pre-drilled hole, helping maintain a clean surface and reducing layout steps on cabinet or fixture jobs. The magnet housing measures 5/8 inch in diameter and 3/4 inch deep, giving you a compact form that fits small frames or stile edges while still providing usable holding strength. A 3/4 inch diameter strike plate pairs with the magnet face, creating a predictable contact area that supports repeatable alignment from piece to piece in the shop or onsite.

Magnetic Catch Details That Support Daily Work

• The light pull force magnetic catch provides controlled holding, which helps doors stay shut yet open without excessive effort on small or frequently accessed cabinets.
• The drive in magnet casing installs into a drilled hole, which keeps fasteners hidden and supports a clean, finished look on face frames or carcass sides.
• The 5/8 inch diameter magnet housing defines a clear bit size target, which speeds drilling and reduces rework when you are running multiple identical parts.
• The 3/4 inch depth of the magnet housing provides enough embedment for secure seating, which helps the catch stay stable during repeated door operation.
• The 3/4 inch diameter strike plate matches the magnet contact area, which promotes consistent engagement and more uniform closing feel across several doors.

Drive In Magnetic Catch Fit And Installation

The drive in magnet casing on the EPCO 591 magnetic catch seats in a drilled 5/8 inch diameter hole, so layout revolves around a standard round bore instead of surface mounting, which can simplify jigs and speed repetitive cabinet runs. With a 3/4 inch deep housing, the bore depth is well defined, helping you stop at a practical depth that holds the body securely without breaking through a stile or thin panel. The 3/4 inch diameter strike plate gives you a clear target when positioning on the mating door or frame, supporting accurate alignment so the magnet face meets flat and delivers consistent pull. The light pull force rating supports doors that need positive closure without excessive slam force.

Using The EPCO 591 Magnetic Catch In Projects

Where The 591 Magnetic Catch Works Best

The EPCO 591-P magnetic catch is described as a light pull force magnetic catch, which suits small cabinet doors, utility panels, or light doors that benefit from gentle holding rather than strong retention. Its 5/8 inch diameter magnet housing allows use on narrow face frames or thin rails where wider hardware would crowd the edge, helping preserve material around the bore. Because the housing is 3/4 inch deep, it can be recessed into stiles or cabinet sides without projecting into the interior more than necessary, which matters when shelf clearance is tight. The 3/4 inch diameter strike plate offers a broad enough surface to catch minor alignment variation while still fitting compact door corners or small frames.

Details That Help Achieve Consistent Magnetic Holding

The drive in magnet casing on this aluminum magnetic catch creates a fixed position in the drilled hole, which supports repeatable alignment from cabinet to cabinet when your bore depth and location are consistent. The 5/8 inch diameter x 3/4 inch deep housing geometry makes it practical to standardize on one drill size and depth stop, reducing setup changes between pieces. Pairing that housing with a 3/4 inch diameter strike plate means the contact area is easy to visualize during layout, helping doors pull to a predictable point instead of wandering. The specified light pull force means the magnetic engagement is oriented toward ease of opening, which can help reduce wear on small hinges since less force is transferred through the hardware during operation.
