New Southco M5 Magnetic Catches Combine Strength and Style – Available Now at Zygology

Delivering the holding power of rare earth magnets, Southco has launched the M5 Magnetic Catch. Combining strength and style, the latest in Southco’s magnetic catches range provides a secure, robust, and attractive solution for keeping doors and panels open or closed.

A reliable alternative to door stays, the M5 features corrosion-resistant stainless steel and has a highly polished finish, so it looks great no matter the application.

Strength and Versatility

Offering simple push-to-close and pull-to-open functionality, it’s well suited to high vibration environments. Additionally, it can be configured to provide nominal holding powers from 50-118 N (11-26 lbs) to accommodate multiple door sizes and weights with a significant tolerance for misalignment.

M5 Magnetic Catches are available in a range of swivel catch height options that can be mounted horizontally or vertically, and fixed catch options that mount flush to or directly on the surface to suit a wide range of door, panel and window dimensions.

Swivel catches are easily adjusted to hold at any desired angle. They include a rubber bumper surface to minimise noise from closing and vibration whilst also preventing scratching the mating fixed keeper.
