This is a magnetic catch from Blum designed specifically for bespoke kitchen furniture. Unlike standard magnetic catches, it conceals the magnet behind a polished chrome cover, creating a clean finish that won't compromise the visual appeal of your cabinetry.

Where It Fits

You'll find this catch most useful on cabinet doors where you want a secure closure without visible hardware. It works particularly well in contemporary kitchens where clean lines matter, and on doors where traditional handles or latches would interrupt the design.

How It Works

The catch provides 5kg of holding force while maintaining a 1mm air gap between the door and cabinet. This gap eliminates the sharp clunk you get with other magnetic catches, creating a much quieter close. The magnet sits behind the chrome cover, so you see only the polished finish, not the working mechanism.

Why It Matters

In daily use, this means your cabinet doors close securely without the jarring sound that can make a kitchen feel less refined. The strong hold prevents doors from drifting open, while the near-silent operation maintains the calm atmosphere you want in a well-designed kitchen.

Design Consideration

This catch works best where the visual finish is as important as the function. However, you'll need to ensure your cabinet construction can accommodate the 42mm length and that the door alignment allows for the precise positioning magnetic catches require. It's not suitable for very heavy doors or where frequent adjustment might be needed.

Build Quality

The catch is made from steel with a polished chrome finish that matches other quality kitchen hardware. At 42mm long and 16.5mm high, it's compact enough to fit within most cabinet frameworks. Blum backs it with a lifetime guarantee, reflecting their confidence in the mechanism.

Consider whether this level of refinement suits your kitchen's overall approach to hardware and detailing. The investment makes most sense where the visual finish and quiet operation genuinely enhance how your kitchen feels to use every day.
