Magnetic Catch Latches
Magnetic Catch Latches
Gain a lot of flexibility in applications where you can use these magnetic fastening latches instead of mechanically actuated latches. They have no moving parts, are great for lightweight sheet metal doors and enclosures, tolerate misalignment, and can even be used with non-metallic enclosures by adding a steel strike plate.
