Professional magnetic catch fitting for kitchen cupboards, bathroom cabinets, and wardrobes. We install or replace magnetic catches to keep doors closing properly and staying shut.
Magnetic catch installation and replacement across Exeter and Devon. When cupboard doors won't stay closed or swing open by themselves, worn or failed magnetic catches are usually the cause. We fit new magnetic catches to restore proper door function.
Magnetic catches are simple, reliable mechanisms that hold cupboard doors closed without handles or latches. They work on kitchen cupboards, bathroom cabinets, bedroom wardrobes, and utility room storage. We fit catches of appropriate strength for your door weight and use.

What to Expect
1. Assessment - We check current catch condition, test door alignment, and identify how many catches need replacing for proper function.
2. Installation - We remove old catches, fit new catches with precise alignment, adjust for optimal magnetic contact, and test door operation.
3. Final testing - We check all doors close smoothly and stay shut reliably, then tidy up and show you the improved operation.
🔧 DIY Tips
Alignment is critical - Magnetic catches need precise alignment between door and frame sections. Even 2mm misalignment reduces holding strength significantly.
Door weight matters - Heavy doors or doors with contents need stronger catches. Standard light-duty catches won't hold heavy cupboard doors reliably.
Two catches for large doors - Tall cupboard doors work better with two catches (top and bottom) to prevent door twist and ensure even closure.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
If your cupboard doors still won't stay closed after new magnetic catches are fitted, the issue may be door hinge sag or frame movement rather than catches. We'll identify any underlying issues during installation and advise on solutions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does magnetic catch fitting cost?
Magnetic catch fitting costs £60 for the first hour, typically covering 3-5 catches depending on cupboard access. Additional catches are charged at £50 per hour.
What's wrong with my current catches?
Magnetic catches wear out over time, lose strength, or break. Replacement restores proper door closure and stops cupboards swinging open.
Do you supply the magnetic catches?
We can supply standard magnetic catches or install ones you've purchased. We'll advise on suitable strength for your cupboard doors when you book.
Will fitting damage my cupboards?
We reuse existing screw holes where possible. New catches may need small pilot holes, which are discreet and won't affect cupboard appearance.
