Sugatsune MC-YN001P counterplate describes this Sugatsune America oval steel counterplate that works as the strike plate for a matching MC-YN001P magnetic catch. The manufacturer part number MC-YN001U-BL ties it directly to that catch series, which helps keep hardware selections consistent across a job. The piece measures 1-3/8 inch wide by 9/16 inch high, so it presents a compact target area for the magnet while keeping layouts tight on smaller doors or panels. Being part of the locks and latches, catches, strikes class means it is meant to receive the pull from a magnetic catch instead of acting as a latch body itself, which keeps responsibility for holding power on the catch side. The black finish gives a dark appearance that can sit against darker cabinet interiors or furniture parts where a bright plate might stand out.
The 1-3/8 inch by 9/16 inch oval sizing of this counterplate sets the footprint that needs to land on the door or panel, which guides layout around rails, stiles, or edge profiles. Because it is identified as the counterplate for MC-YN001P magnetic catches, it is suited to installations where those catches are already specified, which helps standardize hardware across several openings. Being a strike within the locks and latches, catches, strikes category means it is the fixed receiving part in the system, so door movement is controlled by how this plate aligns opposite the catch body. The steel material supports the magnet in reaching its pull rating, which matters when fine-tuning closure feel on lightweight cabinet doors.
This Sugatsune America MC-YN001U-BL counterplate is designed for use with Sugatsune magnetic catches identified as MC-YN001P, placing it naturally in cabinet, furniture, and similar panel applications that use that catch series. Its role within the locks and latches, catches, strikes product class positions it as the fixed strike point on a door, panel, or frame, with the magnet on the opposite member. The oval profile and 1-3/8 inch width allow it to sit neatly on narrow rails or door edges often found in cabinetry, without covering a large visible area. The black finish lets it blend into dark-stained or painted interiors, which keeps attention on the door faces rather than the small hardware parts at the closing edge.
The fact that this piece is explicitly described as the counterplate for MC-YN001P magnetic catches means alignment, contact area, and material have been matched to that specific catch design, which helps produce repeatable closing behavior across multiple doors on a run. The steel construction gives the magnet a dependable ferrous surface, supporting consistent pull every time the door closes. Its 9/16 inch height defines a relatively small vertical target, encouraging precise positioning of both catch and counterplate to keep reveals even. Because it is a dedicated strike in the locks and latches, catches, strikes class, installers can treat it as the reference surface for final catch adjustments, which can reduce rework when balancing closure pressure between adjacent doors. The black finish also reduces visual contrast on dark substrates, which is useful when aligning hardware where it may be visible as doors open.
The MC-YN001U-BL counterplate is designed to be used with Sugatsune magnetic catches identified as MC-YN001P, which keeps the strike matched to the intended catch series.
The counterplate measures 1-3/8 inch wide by 9/16 inch high, giving a compact footprint that fits well on common cabinet rails and door edges.
The counterplate is made of steel, providing a ferrous surface that allows the corresponding Sugatsune magnetic catch to achieve its designed holding force.
The MC-YN001U-BL counterplate has a black finish, giving it a dark appearance that can visually blend into dark cabinet interiors or furniture pieces.
This part falls under locks and latches, catches, and strikes, meaning it functions as the strike plate that receives pull from a magnetic catch.
The MC-YN001U-BL counterplate is manufactured by Sugatsune America, aligning it with the Sugatsune MC-YN001P magnetic catch series for coordinated use.
The Sugatsune MC-YN001U-BL oval steel counterplate provides a matched strike solution for MC-YN001P magnetic catches, which supports consistent cabinet closure feel across a project. Its 1-3/8 inch by 9/16 inch size works well on typical cabinet and furniture door members where space is limited at edges and rails. The steel construction and black finish supply a dependable magnetic target with a subdued appearance in darker installations. For projects already specified around Sugatsune magnetic hardware, this dedicated counterplate keeps the locks and latches, catches, strikes set aligned under a single manufacturer and part reference.
