Sugatsune MC-159 Thin Magnet Catch Steel Neodymium

Product Description

The SUGATSUNE MC-159 is a thin neodymium magnet catch designed for cabinet, door, and panel latching applications in light commercial and residential millwork. Constructed from steel with a nickel coating, this compact catch delivers reliable magnetic retention in a low-profile form factor. It measures approximately 1-39/64 inches long by 1-5/8 inches wide by 2.6 inches high and weighs 0.02 pounds. The neodymium magnet provides strong holding force relative to its size, making it suitable for lightweight doors and access panels where a traditional mechanical latch would be overkill or impractical.

This magnet catch is used in cabinet installations, furniture manufacturing, and architectural millwork where a clean, hardware-visible or concealed closure is needed. It is appropriate for interior door panels, display cases, storage cabinet doors, and similar light-duty applications. Installation is straightforward and is typically handled by carpenters, finish trades, or general contractors during fixture and cabinet work.

Key Features

• Thin profile at 2.6 inches high allows installation in space-constrained door and panel edges
• Neodymium magnet core provides high magnetic force in a compact housing
• Steel construction with nickel coating resists corrosion and surface wear
• 1-5/8 inch width fits standard cabinet door stile widths
• Sold individually, no additional hardware set required for single-catch applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation magnet catch for lightweight cabinet doors, access panels, and interior millwork applications requiring a thin magnetic closure.

Installation Notes

Magnet catches are typically installed by carpenters or finish trades using basic hand tools. Ensure the strike plate and catch body are properly aligned before final fastening to achieve consistent magnetic engagement. Avoid mounting on ferromagnetic surfaces that may interfere with magnetic field orientation. Follow the cabinet or furniture manufacturer's recommended pilot hole sizes to prevent wood splitting during screw installation.
