Sugatsune MC-KM-S Tension Catch Plastic Steel

Product Description

The SUGATSUNE MC-KM-S is a tension catch designed to keep cabinet doors, access panels, and light-duty closure applications securely shut without a traditional latch mechanism. Built from steel with a plastic housing and finished in white, this small-format catch relies on magnetic force to hold the strike plate in position. It measures 1.99 inches long, 0.67 inches wide, and 0.47 inches high, with a strike that is 1-3/16 inches long and 29/64 inches wide. At 0.06 pounds, it is lightweight and suited for installations where minimal hardware footprint is required. The 5.2 magnetic force rating provides reliable holding power for low-load applications.

This tension catch is appropriate for residential and light commercial cabinetry, furniture, and millwork installations. Typical use cases include kitchen cabinet doors, utility enclosures, and interior access panels where a flush or recessed closure is preferred. The white finish blends with painted wood and standard cabinet interiors. Carpenters, cabinetmakers, and finish trades install this hardware during final trim-out or cabinet assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by finish carpenters or cabinetmakers using basic hand tools. Mount the catch body to the cabinet frame and align the strike to the door face, ensuring the strike seats fully within the catch for consistent magnetic engagement. No power tools or specialized trade licensing are required for standard cabinet hardware installation. Confirm door alignment and clearance before final fastening to avoid binding.
