Magneetlatch

The Magneetlatch is a type of magnetic door closure system. It utilizes permanent magnets to hold a door shut and typically requires a handle or pull to overcome the magnetic force and open it. These latches are designed to provide a simple and reliable way to keep doors closed without the need for a traditional spring-loaded bolt mechanism. The magnetic force can vary depending on the size and strength of the magnets used, allowing for applications ranging from light interior doors to heavier cabinet doors.

Magneetlatch systems are often chosen for their quiet operation, as there are fewer moving parts compared to conventional latches, reducing the potential for clicking or slamming sounds. They can also be a good option in environments where traditional mechanical latches might be prone to jamming or wear. Installation is generally straightforward, often involving mounting one magnetic component to the door frame and the other to the door itself, ensuring proper alignment for optimal holding strength. The absence of complex mechanisms can also lead to lower maintenance requirements over time.
