Push latch magnet

A push-latch is a mechanical opening system that allows a door to be opened and closed via an automatic push mechanism, without the use of handles. It is widely used in furniture hardware due to its simplicity and reliability.

By pressing the door where the push-latch is installed, the opening movement is activated. Depending on the type of hinges mounted on the cabinet (sprung, unsprung or reverse spring), the door may open partially or fully.

For sprung or soft-close hinges — those that naturally keep the door closed — a push-latch with a buffer must be used. For unsprung or reverse-spring hinges, a magnetic push-latch should be installed together with a metal counterplate to ensure proper door closure.

Thanks to the different activation forces available, it is possible to adjust the opening position and pair doors and flaps of varying weights and sizes.

They allow for a cleaner furniture design without handles and enable doors to be opened with a push motion, even when your hands are occupied.
