National Mfg N149-898 Magnetic Cabinet Catch White 5-pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N149-898 is a white magnetic cabinet catch designed to hold cabinet doors and light gates firmly in the closed position. The catch uses a pivoting magnet mechanism that self-centers on the metal strike plate, ensuring maximum holding strength regardless of minor door misalignment. The magnet is housed in an aluminum case for durability, and slotted screw holes allow for straightforward field adjustment during installation. This hardware is suited for millwork and cabinet installers as well as general contractors handling interior finish work.

The N149-898 is intended for residential and light commercial cabinet applications, including kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, utility cabinets, and interior doors where a low-profile magnetic catch is preferred. The pivot design reduces the need for precise alignment during mounting, making it practical for retrofit installations as well as new cabinet builds. Each package contains 5 units, making it convenient for multi-door projects.
