AAA Stainless Steel Magnetic Door Catcher – 316 is a compact marine door-holding fitting designed to catch and retain an open door using a magnetic connection. This two-part magnetic door catcher provides a practical way to manage doors without relying on a mechanical hook or manually operated latch. When the door is opened and the two sections meet, the magnet holds them together until the door is pulled away. It is suitable for maintaining a tidy, convenient door arrangement on boats, yachts, cabins, and other installations where doors may otherwise move when left open.

Manufactured from 316-grade stainless steel, this door catcher is intended for use as marine hardware in areas where durable stainless-steel fittings are preferred. The polished metal construction gives it a clean appearance that coordinates well with other stainless-steel boat accessories, including hinges, handles, latches, and deck fittings. Its total height, including the bracket, is 50mm, providing a relatively compact profile for locations with limited mounting space. Before installation, buyers should check the available clearance and confirm that the door and the opposing mounting surface can be correctly aligned.

The unit incorporates a rubber cover to provide softer contact when the two components engage. This covered contact point helps cushion the meeting surfaces during operation, making the product useful as a boat door catch in cabins, interior passageways, lockers, and storage areas. The magnetic design also makes it a convenient catcher for door applications that require straightforward opening and release. Unlike a locking latch, it is designed to retain a door in position magnetically; the door can be released by applying sufficient pulling force.

This fitting can also be considered for suitable cupboards, lockers and access doors where a marine-style cabinet door catcher is required. The mounting bases visible on both components contain fixing holes, allowing the magnetic body and receiving section to be positioned on opposing surfaces. Correct positioning is important: both sections should meet evenly when the door reaches its intended open position. Suitable fasteners should be selected according to the mounting surface, installation location, and door construction. Fastener details are not specified with this product.

The compact rounded design reduces unnecessary projection while presenting smooth exterior surfaces. As a magnet catcher for door installations, it provides a simple operating method with no lever that must be lifted before closing the door. This can be especially convenient for frequently accessed cabin doors, storage compartments, and similar openings. It may also serve buyers searching for a heavy duty door catcher style made from 316 stainless steel; however, the manufacturer does not provide a magnetic holding-force rating, so suitability should be assessed according to the size, weight and movement of the individual door.

For correct installation, place the two sections where they can meet directly without forcing the door or bracket out of alignment. Confirm that the selected location does not interfere with hinges, handles, surrounding equipment or normal access. The magnetic catch is intended to hold a door open and should not be treated as a security lock, closing latch or safety restraint. On vessels, the completed installation should be checked periodically to ensure that the fixing points remain secure and that the contacting components stay properly aligned. The confirmed manufacturer details identify this model as magnetic door catcher HF15-290 with a 50mm total height, 316-grade stainless-steel construction and a rubber-covered soft-contact point.
