Excellent video, thanks for making this. Wouldn't have thought to offset the magnets.

[@BradshawJoinery]

No worries Wayne, happy to help 👍

[@jamesrosendale5732]

Great to see this. I am building a pretty significant "screen door" for my house and want to use magnets to hold it closed, rather than a traditional catch. Glad to see how simple this can be. wish me luck!!

[@BradshawJoinery]

Nice one James, you may need more magnets for bigger items, or physically bigger ones!

Great video and perfect timing as I've just finished some bedroom cupboards and I was thinking about a nice catch for them that would help stabilize the timber I used

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks Tony! Are you going to use the magnets? Hope they work out for you I love them!

[@jamesmills6766]

Great idea! Those commonly used magnets are a bit unsightly and can take the look off a nice job

[@BradshawJoinery]

I loved it when I came across it. Admittedly It took some experimenting to get it right but I think it's only fair to share!

[@jamesmills6766]

@@BradshawJoinery I can imagine haha

[@CorySakai]

WOW! I knew somebody would have a better idea than exposed pins/latches or ball latches to keep the double doors to my bedroom closed. Also love the the little spindle mallet like pricker thing. I've never seen one. 2 great ideas! Thanks!

[@BradshawJoinery]

So pleased the video has helped you! 👍👌

[@martinb9996]

Excellent video which I followed to the letter and your idea worked a treat! I was making window shutters with flush hinges. One area to watch, is to buy quality hinges without play (I used Hafele). The first set of standard unbranded hinges I bought were ‘sloppy’ and had I used them, the magnets may have pulled the door out of line. As it was, it all worked perfectly. Thanks again!

[@BradshawJoinery]

Nice one Martin! Yeah buy quality everything if you can, it always pays off!

[@billystray7007]

great idea ill have to adapt that one into my work those knuckle hinges are making a comeback in kitchens here in the states. ive seen those rare earth magnets sold with a counter sunk hole , might come in handy

[@BradshawJoinery]

thanks Billy

[@NeilDunlop]

I've been wondering if you'd do this exact video after watching the cabinet build. Great tips from start to the very finish (a rare thing) 👍👍👍

[@BradshawJoinery]

Awesome thanks Neil! Glad to be of help :) they are brilliant little things, I have so many uses for them

[@NeilDunlop]

@@BradshawJoinery I'd tried using thinner magnets on my first proper cabinet build with mixed success. They kinda held the doors closed but not to any great satisfaction. Offsetting them makes a lot of sense once you've seen it. The bumper trimming for the perfect fit is also another obvious-when-you-see-it tip so thanks for that one too :D

Thankyou Gerry I hope some of it comes into use for you!

[@jamiecruickshank9982]

If you had a mid stile that the doors close to, is there any reason not to place the magnets in the face of the stile, and rear face of door components?

[@Bardy20101]

that is a perfect idea I like it very much, I do like all your video's and I thank you for taking the time and effort to make them.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks Tony I hope it is of some use for you!

[@petedavies4796]

What a fantastic idea how do you come up with the thought

[@BradshawJoinery]

I stole this one! ive adapted it very slightly recently to avid having to fill the frame, which is especially useful on natural finish projects!

Love it, great design.

Thanks guys!

Wonderful video and technique! Do you have a link or description of the catch blocks? You’ve earned a subscriber!

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks, The Catch blocks are a screw shelf bracket, they come with a black plastic cover on them but i remove this then stick a bumper sticker on!

[@jameswright4806]

Hi love your chanel. Could you provide a link for the angle cupboard door stops that you use please. Thanks

[@BradshawJoinery]

I did give this info away somethere but it took me ages to sort them. Search Hafele for shelf screw

[@markkoons7488]

Really informative. You clearly know what you're talking about. Thank you. The little zinc stop blocks were new to me. Has a source materialized since the video was posted? How about nomenclature? What does the manufacturer call them?

[@BradshawJoinery]

Search Hafele for Glass shelf Screw. youll have to remove the black cap and add a rubber bumper. search (Art. no. 356.22.420) You ouch to pay for that info as it took me years to find such a elegant solution!!!

[@markkoons7488]

@@BradshawJoinery Yes, we probably should pay but I'm on KZbin because I can't begin to pay for those $1,000 + week-long workshops where presenters typically hand out such information. The question in my mind is whether KZbin videos are sufficiently monetized to be worthwhile for content providers who haven't made videography their primary work. I bring that up because a wood industry journalist friend has suggested I try making KZbin videos, an endeavor about which I have zero skills or equipment. I'm highly skeptical.

If you got to 100k subscribers level. You could quit your work and KZbin full time!👍

How to install thin adhesive dive cupboard latch

[@jaco108]

id be wanting to glue those magnets into place. That 2 part filler is impressive stuff, but it does shrink over time.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Ive not experienced it shrinking, the wood will move around it, but the joy of it being in a tight fitting hole and the filler is that there is enough grip for it not to come out! ive not see any frailure yet!

You'll need to remember the part or look at previous orders in the future as searching for them is useless!

[@BradshawJoinery]

Also check out the oak cupboard door video, I set the frame magnet in a slightly different manner which worked well!

[@terrygleeson5429]

Thank for the tip on magnet size. You’ve used a bigger magnet than I have ever used which will explain my mediocre results. I’ve just looked at the Hafele catalog for neat little door stops without success. Have you got a part number you can share?

Hi, I can't seem to link through to Amazon for the magnets. It's 2 years and the products have probably all changed. I was wondering if you knew what kg of force you have found works for different types of doors?

[@BradshawJoinery]

ts a bit trial and error on your part. Depth from surface makes a big difference. buy the strongest you can fit basically. or double up

[@ironian24]

Use them all the time and have done for the last 15 years, earth magnets are the most powerful rare magnets on the planet and are only sourced from China at this present time. To me personally I think they are the best for I setting into cabi entry doors and franes

[@BradshawJoinery]

They are fantastic things! I find so many uses for them. It's another tool in your kitbag for them tricky situations 👍👍

[@colinwhite7848]

Great video! What strength magnets do you use?

[@BradshawJoinery]

12x6 n52 if you can get them

[@colinwhite7848]

@@BradshawJoinery Thank you!

[@sarahdye2633]

If I understand correctly, the magnets in the doors are drilled into the end grain, right? Not in your practice setup, but in the real thing.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Hi Sarah. Yes, generally they are in the end grain but they work just as well further along if you prefer to have them in the long grain. They don't have to be directly next to the buffer either I just think it makes sence. You may need a jig to drill some end grains as the bit can wander.

[@DavePawson]

Can't find any 'glass blocks'? Any link please? Neat solution - I agree about normal magnetic catches!

[@BradshawJoinery]

282.18.706 then add a 8mm clear bumper pad. I shouldn't really share this because it took a very long time to discover! Lol

[@DavePawson]

@@BradshawJoinery Tks. Found the ones with the bumpers, not sure if it was the ones. Difficulty here, 19mm oak, hence I can't take your 4mm offset and keep within the wood! Wonder if I can get smaller diameter with same pull strength.... I'll look.

[@BradshawJoinery]

They don't come with bumpers on, you have to remove the black plastic part then stick a 8mm bumper onto the face where the black bit was if that makes sense

[@BradshawJoinery]

You could drill with 3mm offset 👍 you'd just just get it in a 19mm door. 👍

Hey man just to update you I have a apprenticeship trial on Monday and Tuesday (8th&9th) see how it goes my dude😄

Awesome buddy that's brilliant news! Make sure you ask lots of questions about what you will be doing! I know some bigger companies get apprentice's in as cheap labour and it's very monotonous work! Hope it goes well, don't be late! 🤣

[@hubertkozlowicz8990]

accoya wood?

[@BradshawJoinery]

Yes! Great material

[@joeeydouglas]

You arr a professional hence you took so much effort but if we want to install this no Carpenter will do it in the cost of 99 cents prize of door catcher

[@BradshawJoinery]

No but when has anything quality been about comparing the cost to the most budget solution? This gives a high quality close, is discreet and perfectly at home In a high end kitchen. I wouldn't personally install a 99 cent catcher in my handmade kitchen and wouldn't expect snappy closing magnet catches on a £50k+ handmade kitchen either!

[@joeeydouglas]

When you already have a magnet catcher in the market why do we need to reinvent the wheel

[@BradshawJoinery]

Because this way is incredibly discreet, it also is a more luxury close than the harsh snap of a magnet "catch" 👍
