    9798 Magnetic Catch, Aluminum Wood

    Description

    9798 Magnetic Catch For Secure Cabinet Closure

    9798 magnetic catch from Amerock Corporation uses a heavy pull force to keep doors or panels held firmly against the strike, which supports consistent alignment in everyday cabinet or casework use. The magnets rotate within the casing to maintain maximum contact to the strikes, so the holding force stays engaged even when doors or frames are slightly misaligned. The aluminum casing is finished in a simulated wood grain, allowing the catch to blend visually with many wood-toned interiors while still using metal construction. The magnet housing measures 13/16 inch high by 1-1/16 inch deep by 2-1/32 inch long, giving installers a compact body that fits in tight cabinet spaces. The strike plate measures 3/4 inch high by 1 inch long, providing a small but defined landing surface that works well on narrow door rails or frames.

    Magnetic Catch Details That Support Daily Use

    • The heavy pull force specified for this magnetic catch provides firm door retention, which helps doors resist minor bumps in busy areas while still allowing controlled opening.
    • Magnets that rotate within the casing maintain maximum contact to the strikes, which helps the catch continue to hold when doors are not perfectly centered over time.
    • The aluminum casing with simulated wood grain delivers a metal body for the catch while presenting a wood-like appearance that suits many cabinet interiors.
    • A magnet housing size of 13/16 inch high by 1-1/16 inch deep by 2-1/32 inch long allows the unit to sit in compact spaces behind doors or under shelves.
    • A strike plate size of 3/4 inch high by 1 inch long offers a modest footprint that still provides a clear target area on the door edge or frame.

    Magnetic Catch Sizing For Straightforward Mounting

    The 13/16 inch height of the magnet housing keeps the catch low profile, which is useful when mounting behind small doors or under shallow overhangs. The 1-1/16 inch depth gives enough body length for stable mounting against a cabinet surface without requiring excessive clearance. The 2-1/32 inch overall housing length provides a wide base, helping the catch sit solidly along rails or cabinet sides. The 3/4 inch by 1 inch strike plate size keeps the contact area compact, so it can be positioned on narrow stiles or thin door frames while still aligning with the rotating magnet for dependable engagement.

    Using The CM9798AW Magnetic Catch In Cabinet Work

    Where This Amerock Magnetic Catch Fits Best

    The CM9798AW magnetic catch is part of the catches product class under locks and latches, so it is suited to applications where a door or panel needs a defined closed position without a keyed lock. The compact magnet housing dimensions of 13/16 inch high by 1-1/16 inch deep by 2-1/32 inch long support mounting in cabinets, furniture, or light casework where space behind the door is limited. The 3/4 inch high by 1 inch long strike plate works with narrow or standard-width rails, giving flexibility on face-frame or frameless layouts that match those measurements. The aluminum casing with simulated wood grain makes this catch appropriate in wood cabinetry where a metallic part with a wood-like finish is preferred, helping it visually coordinate with interiors while still performing as a metal catch. As a heavy pull magnetic catch, it suits doors that benefit from firmer closure, such as those regularly accessed in work or storage areas.

    Why These CM9798AW Details Support Consistent Results

    The rotating magnets inside the CM9798AW casing maintain maximum contact to the strikes, which supports consistent holding strength even when repeated use causes minor door movement or hinge wear. This design helps reduce the tendency for doors to sag away from the cabinet face because the contact point can adjust within the housing. The defined housing size of 13/16 inch by 1-1/16 inch by 2-1/32 inch gives installers clear dimensions for layout, helping place the catch where it will not interfere with shelves or stored items. The 3/4 inch by 1 inch strike plate dimension simplifies planning for overlap and reveal, since the contact surface is predictable and easy to center. The aluminum casing contributes a stable mounting body, supporting repeatable results when several catches of the same CM9798AW model are used across a project that specifies Amerock magnetic catches.

    Common Questions About The 9798 Magnetic Catch

    What are the housing dimensions of the Amerock magnetic catch?

    How does the rotating magnet design help in use?

    The rotating magnets maintain maximum contact to the strikes, so the catch continues to hold effectively even when doors experience slight misalignment over time.

    What finish does the aluminum magnetic catch casing have?

    The magnetic catch uses an aluminum casing with a simulated wood grain, so the visible body presents a wood-like look while functioning as metal hardware.

    Selecting The CM9798AW Catch For Your Project

    The CM9798AW magnetic catch from Amerock Corporation combines a heavy pull force, rotating magnets, and defined housing and strike dimensions, giving installers a predictable catch for cabinet or light casework projects. The aluminum casing in simulated wood grain supports cabinets where a wood-toned appearance and metal performance are both valued. Using the stated housing and strike sizes, projects can be laid out so each 9798 magnetic catch helps doors close to a consistent position that suits the overall design.
