    Sugatsune Non-Magnetic Touch Latch, 1-13/16" Width with Self Adjusting Strike Plate, Black Finish - MLC-100BL

    Description

    Sugatsune Non-Magnetic Touch Latch For Clean Cabinet Access

    Sugatsune non-magnetic touch latch MLC-100BL is a non-magnetic touch latch with a long stroke and self-adjusting strike, so doors open with a push while staying aligned over repeated use. Its 3-1/4 inch length keeps the mechanism compact, which helps on tight cabinet layouts and engineered casework. The 20.2 lbs magnetic force rating in the series description reflects a robust holding action, so doors stay closed firmly during everyday operation. A black finish lets the latch blend with dark interiors and hardware, supporting low-visibility installations where exposed components would distract from the design. As part of the MLC-100 Series touch latch line, this model gives cabinet makers and engineers a consistent option for modern, handle-free fronts. The single-touch latch with strike is described as a sophisticated, robust option, which suits high-use cabinetry in residential or commercial projects.

    Key Touch Latch Details That Support Cabinet Work

    • The MLC-100BL non-magnetic touch latch uses a long stroke design, so the door can travel farther on release, which helps doors clear face frames and thicker fronts smoothly.
    • The latch features a self-adjusting strike plate with vertical adjustment of plus or minus 2 mm, which eases aligning doors to the latch when cases or hinges are slightly off.
    • The self-adjusting strike also offers horizontal shift of plus or minus 3.5 mm, which gives added tolerance for side-to-side variation in drilling or door positioning.
    • The long 15/16 inch (23 mm) stroke is suited for 1 inch thick doors, so cabinet builders can pair it with common thick fronts without reworking layouts.
    • A black finish allows the latch body and strike to visually recede inside dark cabinets, which helps maintain a clean look when doors are open during use.

    Touch Latch Installation And Alignment Behavior

    The MLC-100BL non-magnetic touch latch uses a self-adjusting strike plate that accepts vertical adjustment of plus or minus 2 mm, so during installation the strike can meet the latch even when the door height sits slightly high or low. Horizontal shift of plus or minus 3.5 mm in the strike lets the installer compensate if drilling or hinges pull the door sideways, reducing the need to move the main latch body after mounting. The 15/16 inch, or 23 mm, stroke is matched to 1 inch thick doors, so the push-to-open travel works with thicker doors without binding. A 3-1/4 inch overall latch length keeps the unit compact on the cabinet side, which suits tight interior spaces where depth is limited.

    How This MLC-100BL Touch Latch Performs In Service

    Cabinet And Furniture Applications For This Latch

    The MLC-100BL non-magnetic touch latch is positioned for cabinet makers and engineers who want flawless cabinet functionality, so it fits modern, handle-free cabinetry where a push-to-open action is preferred. Its long stroke works with 1 inch thick doors, which is common in higher-end casework and engineered furniture, so doors open fully from a single push. The black finish integrates into a wide range of decors, allowing the latch to sit behind dark interiors or hardware without drawing attention when doors are opened. As part of the MLC-100 Series, the latch serves as a consistent component choice across multiple cabinet runs, which helps standardize hardware in a project.

    Durability, Adjustment Range, And Material Advantages

    The MLC-100BL non-magnetic touch latch is described as a new generation latch with a long stroke and self-adjusting strike, so the mechanism is tuned for smoother action and more forgiving alignment than basic touch catches. Its open/close cycle test of 100,000 cycles shows that the latch has been operated repeatedly, which indicates it is structured for frequent daily use in cabinets that see constant opening and closing. The self-adjusting strike plate, with plus or minus 2 mm vertical and plus or minus 3.5 mm horizontal movement, gives generous alignment range, so small shifts in doors or cases over time can still be absorbed by the latch engagement area. Construction in glass-reinforced plastic (PA) means the body uses a reinforced plastic material, which supports a stable form while keeping weight low for mounting on cabinet panels. A single-touch latch with strike design focuses the user interaction into one motion, so users get a simple open-and-close experience that suits both residential and commercial environments.
