Ives 325A3 Magnetic Catch Bright Brass Aluminum

Product Description

The IVES 325A3 is an aluminum magnetic catch finished in bright brass, designed to hold doors in an open or closed position without mechanical latching hardware. Magnetic catches are a standard solution in residential and light commercial cabinetry, interior doors, and millwork applications where a low-profile, tool-free release is preferred. The 325A3 measures 4.75 inches in length, 3 inches in width, and 0.75 inches in height, making it a compact fit for typical door and cabinet frame installations. Weighing just 0.1 pounds, it adds negligible load to the door assembly. The bright brass finish suits traditional and transitional architectural hardware schemes.

This magnetic catch is suited for interior door and cabinet applications in both residential and light commercial settings. Typical installs include hinged cabinet doors, passage doors held open in high-traffic corridors, and millwork closures where a positive but easily released hold is needed. The aluminum construction keeps the unit lightweight while the bright brass finish allows it to coordinate with matching architectural hardware on the same door set. Each unit is sold individually.

Installation Notes

Magnetic catches of this type are typically installed by carpenters, finish hardware installers, or knowledgeable DIYers using standard hand tools. Ensure the strike plate and catch body are aligned flush before final fastening to achieve consistent holding force. No electrical power or special trade licensing is required for installation. Follow the door or cabinet manufacturer guidelines for fastener size and substrate preparation.
