Attraction of Magnetic Catches at kbb 2024

Magnetic Catches are commonplace in kitchen and bathroom cupboards and furniture.

Bunting is one of the world’s leading designers and manufacturers of magnetic catches, magnets, magnet assemblies, and magnetising equipment. Bunting’s European engineering and manufacturing facilities are in Berkhamsted and Redditch, both in the United Kingdom. Magnetic Catches are sold online through Bunting’s eMagnets UK website.

kbb 2024 is a biennial event, held at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, UK, which brings together Europe’s leading kitchen, bedroom and bathroom designers and suppliers.

With an extensive online range of magnetic catches, Bunting supplies cabinetmakers in the UK, Eire and on the European mainland. The standard range includes general purpose, clip in, surface mounted, knock-in catches, and touch catches. Premium Elite Magnetic Catches meet the requirements for high-end bespoke furniture manufacture, with Shaker Magnetic Catches for specialist kitchens.

On stand X70 at the kbb show, Bunting is exhibiting magnetic catches including the Shaker and Elite ranges. Visitors to the Bunting stand will be invited to take away a free sample box of magnetic catches.

Magnetic Catches for any application

The Shaker Magnetic Catch is specifically designed for Shaker-style kitchen cabinets, with the advantage of being quick and easy to install, with only one screw fixing. The option of a catch plate with leather buffer provides the almost silent closing of a kitchen cabinet door and is available with a company’s own branding.

The Elite range of Magnetic Catches is prized for the sleek design, durability, and ease of installation. Elite catches are available in various finishes to complement any furniture style, from black-nickel to brass, and designs with differing magnetic configurations. The high-quality Magnetic Catches are all supplied with catch plates, with optional high-quality leather buffer versions.
Elite Catches are either surface-mounted or flush-mounted beneath the surface of the wood (knock-in), depending on the design. These unique products allow the use of soft-close dampers with traditional butt hinges. Additionally, as they will work over an air gap, Elite Catches allow a smooth and near-silent door closure.

Specific models in the Elite Catches range hide the active magnet surface behind a visually appealing high-quality metal cover, providing the aesthetic finish required for an upmarket contemporary bespoke furniture design.

The maximum possible holding force achievable is 1kg to 8kg depending on the version.

“The continued and growing popularity of our magnetic catches reflects the quality of our products and our service,” said Alan Why, Bunting’s Product Manager. “The style and quality of a magnetic catch is vitally important and visitors to our stand will be invited to take away sample boxes of magnetic catches. After successfully exhibiting at the kbb show in 2020 and 2022, we are looking forward to another exciting show.”
