Magnetic Closures

Magnetic latches, also known as magnetic snap latches, are locking systems that use magnets to hold doors, windows, and other objects closed. They are composed of two parts: a magnetic plate that is placed on the door or window, and a metallic component that is placed on the frame or on the adjacent structure.

When the door or window is closed, the magnets attract each other and hold the door shut. To open the door, a sufficient force is exerted to separate the magnets, allowing the door to open easily.

Magnetic latches are commonly used in applications where a secure lock is required, but without the need for a complete locking system. For example, they can be used on cabinets, drawers, furniture and other objects that require a secure but easy-to-open closure. They can also be used on larger applications such as exterior doors, but in these cases it is important to ensure that the magnetic closure is strong enough to provide adequate security.

It is important to note that magnetic latches are not suitable for all security applications, as they do not offer the same protection as more robust locking systems. It is also important to ensure that the magnets are positioned correctly to prevent the door or window from being accidentally opened.

We have three types of magnetic closures: locking magnets, adjustable magnets and recessed magnets.
