Cabinet Latches

Cabinet latches keep doors and drawers closed, improving safety, reducing noise, and protecting contents across kitchens, bathrooms, garages, workshops, RVs, and boats. The right latch prevents slamming, stops rattles on moving vehicles, and keeps kids and pets out, while supporting a clean, dependable user experience for everyday storage. Whether you’re building new cabinets or replacing tired hardware, this category offers reliable, easy-to-install solutions that fit face-frame and frameless constructions.

Popular types include:
- Magnetic catches: simple, affordable, with pull strengths rated in pounds.
- Roller and bullet catches: smooth action with adjustable tension.
- Push-to-open (touch) latches: handle-free access for modern, minimalist designs.
- Cam and slam latches: rugged choices for utility cabinets and mobile setups.
- Child-safety and keyed latches: added security for chemicals or tools.
- Self-closing add-ons: dampers that quiet the close and reduce wear.

Look for materials and finishes that match your environment and style. Stainless steel and nylon resist corrosion in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and coastal areas. Zinc and brass offer durable performance with finishes that coordinate with pulls and hinges. Check door thickness, overlay, and gap to ensure the latch and strike plate align correctly. Surface-mount options simplify retrofits, while mortise designs hide hardware for a clean look.

Installation is typically DIY-friendly with basic tools. Mark centers, pre-drill pilot holes, and test-fit the strike to fine-tune catch pressure. For magnetic latches, match pull force to door size and closing pressure; stronger isn’t always better, as it can increase opening effort. Maintenance is minimal: keep contact points clean, tighten screws as needed, and replace worn springs or rollers.
