Amerock magnetic catch is a functional hardware catch in the Amerock Corporation line, giving cabinet and fixture builders a compact way to hold doors or panels closed using a magnetic pull. The catch provides a 5-11 lbs. pull force, so the magnet holds the mating strike plate with enough resistance to keep a door at rest without excessive effort when opened. This catch is described as 2-5/16 in. in the SAP description, indicating a compact body size that fits easily along rails or cabinet interiors where space is limited. The aluminum material identified in the product name offers a light, corrosion-resistant body, which suits typical interior woodworking environments where hardware should remain stable over time. As a catch in the Locks and Latches category, it serves as the holding element in a closure system, matching well with applications that need a simple magnetic hold instead of a keyed lock.
The Amerock magnetic catch uses #6 truss head screws x 1/2 in. at the catch body, which anchors the magnet housing securely while spreading load over the screw head, useful when fastening into cabinet frames, rails, or interior panels. The strike plate fastens with #5 flat head screws x 1/2 in., so the screws sit flush and do not interfere with the closing surface as the strike meets the magnet. The 1 in. L x 13/16 in. W strike size defines the footprint that must align with the catch face, guiding installers when they position the plate on the door or panel edge. With a pull force rated at 5-11 lbs., installers can plan door alignment and stop locations around a moderate holding force that is suited to typical cabinet or access doors.
The Amerock magnetic catch sits in the Catches product class under Locks and Latches, so it functions as a holding device for doors or panels rather than a locking component. The aluminum material in the Amerock magnetic catch title points to a lightweight body that suits common cabinet carcasses and interior trims, where added mass is not desired. With a strike measuring 1 in. L x 13/16 in. W, the mating plate fits neatly on narrow door rails or lightweight doors without dominating the edge profile. The SAP description lists the catch as a functional hardware catch 2-5/16 in., indicating a compact form factor that fits comfortably inside face frame cabinets, frameless boxes, or utility compartments where space between the door and interior parts is limited. The 5-11 lbs. pull force range places this unit in a holding class suited to everyday cabinet doors, closet access points, or light panels where a consistent close is needed without the resistance of heavy latching.
The defined pull force of 5-11 lbs. on the Amerock cabinet catch gives builders a measurable holding strength, which helps match the catch to door size and weight so the close action feels controlled. The #6 truss head screw x 1/2 in. used at the catch body spreads the clamping load over a wider head, helping the aluminum catch seat firmly against wood substrates for repeatable door alignment over time. At the strike, the #5 flat head screw x 1/2 in. sits flush, so the closing edge remains smooth as it draws to the magnet and reduces interference that could shift alignment. The 1 in. L x 13/16 in. W strike footprint simplifies layout because installers can mark and drill to that known rectangle, improving repeatability across multiple doors. Being sold in each units, the Amerock BP145 magnetic catch lets shops align purchasing directly with project door counts, reducing leftover hardware and keeping hardware selections consistent across a run of cabinets.

Its aluminum body description aligns well with interior woodworking environments where light, stable components are preferred. The defined strike dimensions of 1 in. L x 13/16 in. W, matched with #6 truss head and #5 flat head 1/2 in. mounting screws, give installers clear layout and fastening details.
