Sugatsune magnetic touch latch describes the Sugatsune America MC-37/BRN-1 Non-Magnetic Touch Latch, a latch that uses a push-to-latch and push-to-unlatch mechanism so doors open and close with a simple push instead of a pull. The latch measures 1-5/8 inch in width by 2-1/4 inch in length, giving a compact footprint that fits neatly behind cabinet doors. Its brown finish lets the hardware blend into darker casework, supporting low-visibility installations where hardware should not stand out. This touch latch is designed to eliminate the need for handles or pulls, which is valuable when you want uninterrupted door faces or need to avoid projecting hardware. The mechanism holds the door firmly shut when not in use, so doors remain closed in everyday operation. By relying on a mechanical touch action, the latch supports straightforward access while keeping the front of the cabinet visually clean.
The MC-37/BRN-1 touch latch uses a screw-fastened assembly, so the body is secured to the cabinet with screws for a fixed, mechanical attachment during service. This screw-fastened design supports repeatable placement, because the installer can position the latch, drive the screws, and expect it to stay set under normal door cycling. The floating strike plate feature works with the screw mounting by offering small positional adjustment, so the striker can be shifted slightly before the screws are fully tightened. That interaction between screw-fastened body and floating strike allows the door to meet the latch correctly, helping the push action engage smoothly and reducing the likelihood of the door riding high or low against the mechanism.
The MC-37/BRN-1 Non-Magnetic Touch Latch is suited for cabinet doors that benefit from a push-to-open and push-to-close action, because its mechanism is specifically designed to latch and unlatch through applied pressure on the door surface. It is rated for a four kilogram holding force, so it can retain cabinet doors, drawers, and partitions under that load rating, which supports typical light to medium cabinet applications where doors need to stay shut during regular use. The brown finish helps it blend into dark cabinet interiors, making it practical in residential or commercial casework where exposed hardware inside the cabinet should stay unobtrusive. As part of the latches class within locks and latches, it functions as the primary door-retaining element in the assembly, so its performance directly affects how confidently the door stays closed and how cleanly it releases when pushed.
This mechanical touch latch is constructed from ABS plastic that is REACH 219- and RoHS 3-compliant, so the body material is engineered to resist wear and environmental stress while aligning with those regulatory standards, which supports long-term service in varied conditions. Because the design eliminates the need for handles or pulls, it allows fabricators and designers to maintain flat, uninterrupted door fronts, which can simplify layout on modern cabinets and reduce layout steps tied to handle placement. The screw-fastened assembly lets installers fine-tune position and then lock the latch in place, creating a repeatable setup from one opening to the next. Its floating strike plate further accommodates minor misalignments between the door and cabinet, so even if the casework or hinges introduce small variances, the latch and strike can still meet reliably. Together, the four kilogram holding force, compliant ABS construction, and alignment-tolerant strike plate contribute to a touch latch that supports smooth operation and consistent door retention across multiple installations.
The MC-37/BRN-1 Non-Magnetic Touch Latch uses a push-to-latch and push-to-unlatch mechanism, so pressing on the door surface closes or opens it, which supports handle-free cabinet designs.
The touch latch measures 1-5/8 inch in width by 2-1/4 inch in length, giving a compact size that fits inside standard cabinet spaces while still offering a defined mounting area.
The MC-37/BRN-1 touch latch is rated for a four kilogram holding force, so it retains cabinet doors, drawers, and partitions within that load range during normal use.
The MC-37/BRN-1 latch uses a floating strike plate that allows small positional adjustment, helping the strike align with the latch so doors close securely even with minor casework variances.
The touch latch is constructed from REACH 219- and RoHS 3-compliant ABS plastic, providing a body that resists wear and environmental stress while meeting those regulatory standards.
The MC-37/BRN-1 Non-Magnetic Touch Latch offers push operation, four kilogram holding force, a floating strike plate, and a brown finish, supporting clean, handle-free cabinet designs with consistent door retention.
The MC-37/BRN-1 Non-Magnetic Touch Latch from Sugatsune America delivers push-to-latch and push-to-unlatch operation, a compact 1-5/8 by 2-1/4 inch body, a brown finish, and a floating strike plate, aligning with cabinet projects that call for handle-free, reliably closing doors.
