Magnetic Catches 1-7/8" Center to Center, Cadmium Catch

Magnetic Catches 1-7/8" Center To Center For Doors

Magnetic Catches 1-7/8" Center to Center from Belwith Keeler use a double stacked magnetic cabinet door catch design to help keep cabinet doors closed, so doors stay shut instead of drifting open during everyday use on your projects. The cadmium finish on this catch provides a coated surface, which suits cabinet environments where metal hardware is exposed at the frame. The catch body uses various materials in its construction, giving a practical mixed-material design that supports the magnet, housing, and strike contact area. With a length of 1 inch, this catch fits in compact spaces on the cabinet frame, which is helpful when working inside tight face frames or narrow rails. A projection of 3/4 inch sets how far the catch stands off the mounting surface, influencing alignment with the door strike. The 2-1/4 inch width gives a stable footprint, which matters when you want consistent contact as the door closes.

Key Catch Details That Support Cabinet Work

• The 1-7/8 inch center to center dimension between mounting points sets a fixed screw spacing, so layouts on cabinet frames can be drilled accurately and repeated across multiple doors without re-measuring each location.
• The double stacked magnetic cabinet door catch layout delivers two magnetic contact areas, which increases holding contact at the door, helpful where doors might otherwise rattle from normal opening and closing.
• The 1 inch length of the catch body keeps the hardware compact on the frame, leaving more room around hinges, edge banding, or adjacent hardware when planning tight cabinet interiors.
• The 3/4 inch projection determines how far the magnet extends toward the door, giving a known stand-off that installers can match with their chosen strike position for reliable engagement.
• The 2-1/4 inch width spreads the catch across more of the cabinet frame, helping the magnet area stay aligned with the door over repeated use as doors are opened and shut.
• The cadmium finish on the catch provides a finished metal surface, which matters when hardware is visible at the frame edge or when installers want a consistent look across multiple cabinet openings.

Cabinet Catch Mounting And Alignment Details

The 1-7/8 inch center to center mounting on this magnetic cabinet door catch defines the spacing between fastener points, so installers can mark and drill holes on cabinet frames with predictable repeat spacing. With a compact 1 inch body length, the catch can be positioned close to hinges or frame corners, which is useful on smaller doors where hardware space is limited. The 3/4 inch projection sets the working distance out from the mounting surface, so the mating door contact point can be located to match that offset. At 2-1/4 inches wide, the catch covers a broader area on the frame, which supports stable positioning during fastening and helps the double stacked magnetic areas line up consistently with the door edge.

Using This Magnetic Catch In Cabinet Projects

Where This Cadmium Magnetic Catch Works

This double stacked magnetic cabinet door catch is intended for cabinet doors, so it fits jobs where doors need help staying closed in normal service. The magnetic design supplies holding force at the frame, which is useful on doors without mechanical latches. With a 1 inch length and 2-1/4 inch width, the catch seats on typical cabinet rails or stiles, giving a stable mounting surface across many cabinet layouts. The 1-7/8 inch center to center spacing aligns with a wide frame area, allowing the catch to sit where the door edge naturally meets the frame. The cadmium finish suits cabinets where the catch may be visible at the frame edge, keeping the hardware appearance consistent from opening to opening. Because the catch belongs to the Catches collection from Belwith Keeler, it fits into projects that standardize on this style of cabinet catch across a run of casework.

Details That Support Consistent Door Closing

The double stacked magnetic cabinet door catch configuration creates two stacked magnetic points, which increases the effective contact area at the door and supports more positive closing compared to a single small magnet. This helps hold doors shut after closing, which matters on cabinets that experience frequent use. The 3/4 inch projection determines the stand-off from the mounting surface, giving installers a known working distance when aligning the mating door plate within that range. With a 1 inch length, placement along narrow face frames remains flexible, so the catch can be located at the most effective point along the door edge. The 2-1/4 inch width helps resist slight twisting forces at the magnet area as the door engages, supporting smoother contact over time. The various materials construction provides a structured body around the magnet, which supports the magnetic element while interacting with the cadmium finish for a complete catch assembly.
