Magnetic Latch – Matte Black Finish
Our new magnetic latch comes in matte black finish. This new way of closing and opening a door overcomes the problem of having a normal black latch that after only a short while starts to show scratches and scuff marks.
Mechanical latches in matte black finish have a problem – they scratch easily. With the constant hitting of the latch tongue on the striker plate, both latch tongue and striker plate start wearing off showing the substrate metal finish below. This can make a new home look quite old and unsightly. What we have done is to bring to the market a matte black magnetic latch. The way it works is that instead of a latch tongue, there is a magnetic tube. It shoots out when it lines up with the magnetic striker. This way it does not drag along the striker plate avoiding the constant hitting. Apart from this, it acts the same as a normal latch. We have also made sure it fits Australian door handles so it can be used with any of our handles and privacy adaptors.
