Snap-In Magnetic Catch 18/20 Gauge is an EPCO catch designed for metal cabinet doors, so it provides a consistent way to hold doors closed on light-gauge metal cases. The aluminum case is self-aligning to the strike plate, which helps the magnet find its mating surface without constant adjustment during install. The catch snaps into a 1/2 x 1-3/16 opening in 18 or 20 gauge metal, giving a defined cutout size that speeds layout and drilling. The magnet is described as a lifetime magnet, so it maintains holding power over long-term use in typical cabinet environments. This product is classified under locks and latches as a catch, so it serves as the holding component rather than a keyed lock. The EPCO 555-P designation identifies the specific snap-in magnetic catch for repeat ordering on future jobs.
This EPCO snap-in magnetic catch works with 18 or 20 gauge metal, so it targets common light-gauge cabinet constructions in shops and commercial settings. The housing snaps into a 1/2 x 1-3/16 opening, so fabricators can prepare identical cutouts on multiple doors or frames to keep production consistent. Because the aluminum case is self-aligning to the strike plate, the catch compensates for minor variation in door or frame position, helping the magnet land reliably. As a catch for metal cabinet doors, it integrates directly into metal casework layouts where a magnetic closure is desired without separate mechanical latch bodies.
The Snap-In Magnetic Catch 18/20 Gauge, Aluminum is intended for metal cabinet doors, so it fits projects using 18 or 20 gauge metal panels. The required 1/2 x 1-3/16 opening defines the mounting interface, so door or frame components can be punched or machined to that size during fabrication. Because the housing is aluminum, it suits use on metal casework where a non-ferrous body is preferred around a magnet. Its role as a catch in the locks and latches category means it provides the closing force that keeps doors against the frame, supporting basic access control without a keyed mechanism.
The snap-in mounting into 18/20 gauge metal reduces loose-mount alignment time because the catch locates positively within the 1/2 x 1-3/16 opening. The self-aligning aluminum case to the strike plate further reduces fine-tuning, as the magnet aligns itself to the mating plate during door operation. Over a run of cabinets, this combination of defined opening size and self-alignment helps maintain consistent door feel from unit to unit. The lifetime magnet characteristic supports long-term cabinet performance, because the closure force stays stable, which is important when many doors are cycled repeatedly in commercial or shop environments. Together, these details support predictable fit, repeatable installation steps, and easier future replacement using the EPCO 555-P identifier.
The Snap-In Magnetic Catch 18/20 Gauge, Aluminum is intended for 18 or 20 gauge metal, which aligns with common light-gauge metal used in cabinet doors and casework.
The EPCO 555-P magnetic catch snaps into a 1/2 x 1-3/16 opening, giving installers a precise cutout size for laying out and fabricating door or frame holes.
The aluminum case is self-aligning to the strike plate, so the magnet finds its mating surface more easily, which helps doors close smoothly even with minor positional variation.
This EPCO snap-in magnetic catch is described for metal cabinet doors, so it is suited to metal casework where a magnetic hold is preferred over mechanical latching.
The lifetime magnet provides long-term magnetic holding force, so the closure action remains consistent over extended cabinet use without magnet degradation.
This product is identified as EPCO 555-P Snap-In Magnetic Catch 18/20 Gauge, Aluminum, so that designation supports accurate reordering for matching future work.
The EPCO Snap-In Magnetic Catch 18/20 Gauge, Aluminum offers a defined 1/2 x 1-3/16 opening, self-aligning case, and lifetime magnet, so it suits repeatable cabinet production in 18 or 20 gauge metal. Using the 555-P part number, shops can align current projects with future replacements or expansions that require the same magnetic holding feel on metal cabinet doors.
