I was wondering if I fitted a magnetic lock, to a wall and then put a large metal plate up against it. Would it hold the plate firmly? Would it also hold other metal objects out on the metal plate also?

Technically yes, if its ferrous (if a magnet will stick to it), a mag-lock will hold it. I test mag-locks with my hand tools (screwdriver, scissors) all the time. The key to holding strength is a good bond which requires the "armature" surface to be flat and uniform. Just be careful that if whatever is being held does drop it won't cause damage/injury if the power fails.

@@tristangehman9236 ok, thanks. I was thinking of fitting one on my toolbox in my van. To hold all my tools from rolling around in the draws.. I suppose I’d just have to buy one abs try it one day.
