Jiayi Magnetic Cabinet Door Latches, 12-Pack

The magnetic catch is designed to hold cabinet doors shut with a pull force listed at up to 30 lb. That added resistance may help when a door no longer stays closed or a curious pet nudges it open.

Each latch uses ABS plastic and a separate steel plate. The set includes 12 magnets, 48 screws, and double-sided adhesive strips for positioning during installation.

It’s intended for more than kitchen cabinets: the listing also names vanities, wardrobes, office drawers, RV storage compartments, mailboxes, and sliding doors. Keep in mind that a magnetic catch is a closure aid, not a guaranteed pet- or child-proof lock.

Technical details

The catches are black plastic, with ABS specified as the material. The listed magnetic force is up to 30 lb, that figure is the manufacturer’s stated maximum, not a measure of how every installed door will behave. Door weight, alignment, and the mounting surface can affect the result, and the listing doesn’t provide dimensions.

In the package, you get 12 cabinet magnets and 48 screws, plus double-sided adhesive strips. The adhesive helps position the steel plate, while screws are used to secure it. This is a more permanent approach than relying on a loose or failing existing catch, though it does mean drilling is part of the intended installation.

Compatibility & requirements

The stated uses include kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, bedroom wardrobes, office drawers, RV storage compartments, mailboxes, and sliding doors. The common requirement is a door or panel that can close against a frame and accept the magnet and steel plate. The listing doesn’t specify supported door thicknesses, a surface-type compatibility chart, or a fit for any particular furniture system.

It makes sense if a cabinet door or drawer keeps drifting open and you want a small magnetic catch rather than replacing the whole hinge or latch. Not the best choice if you need a keyed lock, a certified safety device, or a solution that requires no screw installation. For example, a bathroom vanity door that pops open after someone closes it could be fitted with a catch to give it a more definite hold, it still needs correct alignment to engage reliably.

Usage tips

The installation method uses the magnet as a guide for positioning the steel plate. Anchor the magnet to the frame first, place the plate against it, and use the adhesive strip to hold the plate in position on the door. Close the door firmly, then open it and screw the plate in place. This sequence is meant to help line up the two parts before fastening.

Take time to check that the door meets the frame evenly and that the plate contacts the magnet when closed. A catch mounted out of alignment may not hold as intended. The product description calls the ABS resistant to moisture, but it doesn’t give a specific exposure rating, so it shouldn’t be treated as a substitute for a purpose-built outdoor or waterproof fitting.

Practical doubts

Can these catches be used on a wardrobe or drawer? The listing names wardrobes and office drawers, along with cabinets, vanities, and other storage doors.

Does installation require screws? Yes. The adhesive strips help position the steel plate, and the instructions then call for securing it with screws.

How many catches are included? The package lists 12 magnets and 48 screws. The description also includes double-sided adhesive strips but doesn’t state how many strips are supplied.

Buying verdict

This set is worth considering for several doors that need a stronger closing hold, especially when an existing latch or hinge no longer keeps them shut. The 12-catch quantity and included screws make it suited to a multi-door repair rather than a single replacement. The main trade-off is installation: these aren’t simply stick-on closures, and the stated pull force doesn’t guarantee a secure fit on every door. Choose them when you can align and screw the parts in place, look for a dedicated lock if keeping pets out requires more than magnetic resistance.
