Hello. I am not sure about these product and why this is used for. I am actually looking for something which can work as a magnet for my cabinet inside so that when I close and open the door it does not bang and get scratches. is this si the right...

This is not magnetized but it does help reducing the "bang" noise quite a bit. It is made of soft silicon (I think) and it is "cushie". It is better than similar products sold at Walmart and alike. I had magnet locks for cabinets before and I recall they did not help with the noise.

I don't think tape would work with these. I also bought a second set of these to put on some other cabinets, but you have to be careful of the design of the cabinet. The first ones worked well with a thicker edge, with enough room to drill. The second set I tried to put in was on a beveled edge, thinner wood cabinet. The hole for the magnet would have drilled completely through, so they were useless. I'd say you need at least 3/4"-1" of depth, and almost 2" of width at the edge of the cabinet to be safe.

I think these magnets are too thin and small for your project. I have already shattered one by having it clash against another stronger magnet.

Stainless Steel generally does not have enough ferrous metal for magnets (even those as strong as these) to "stick". I have had little success using magnets of any kind on quality stainless steel. Unless the surface on which you would like to use is specifically made to use with magnets - I would not think these will work for you...

I would say probably not. I ended up not using this magnetic strip, instead opting for rare earth magnets which are much smaller and much much stronger.Plus,there was no gluing or screwing involved, all I had to do was place the magnets on the door and it works perfectly

I would say no. They are small, for cabinet doors ...don't think they would be strong enough

That is correct! I am using it on 2 separate doors. Works great. Probably not a long term solution yet if it lasts the summer, I'm good with that. 2 things I did not take into account was that 1. I have a metal door so when I come into the house sometimes the magnet sticks to the door and 2. If the dog is outside and the door is closed, the dog scratches at the door ( effectively scratching through the mesh screen) and I see the screen has small holes from my dogs nails. Still works great though.

This will definitely work if you have a shelf in the cabinet to attach the base to. If you have a glass door you'll see the adhesive backing from the outside. Not sure if that matters to you.

I used 5 coats and regular kitchen magnets will stick, but will not hold anything. I bought some 3/4 inch rare earth magnets and they form a very secure bond now with my wall. The rare earth magnets hold large sheets of my child's painted artwork easily. After trying the rare earth magnets, this seems like an excellent product. If I'd stuck with the kitchen magnets, I would still be disappointed.

I would think so. I used it for drawer pulls on a bedroom cabinet. The only problem I had is the screws were too long for the depth of wood on the drawer and they were wobbly. I had to go to the hardware store and try to find the right size screw. Other than that, they are very cute knobs.

They wouldn't be very effective on a full size door, they aren't strong enough for that. Even for heavy cabinet doors, the manufacturer recommends using two, from what I remember of the instructions.

I installed them inside my cabinet doors but be advised......it works if you have thick wood cabinet doors. If yours are the thin type it will be a no go. I had to use shorter screws that were provided so as not to pierce through the outer part of my doors. Mine are very thick oak.

If you have a smooth, polished steel (not brushed finish) or chalk board paint surface then I wouldn't use these magnets. They stick so hard that the only way to remove them is to slide them to the edge of the fridge and pick them off from there. I have a standard white fridge and the magnets work fine and haven't scratched anything.

That is what i use it for, it lights a wine cabinet that when the door is opened and the two magnets are separated it lights and turns off again when the door is closed and the magnets return to their original position the light goes off. so far works great. hope that helps

In my review, I complained about the quality of the plastic "cap" the magnets fit in. The manufacturer send me a several new magnets of a different design that work well. You may want to check with them. Else, any magnet that has a protective covering around it (so it wont scratch the surface) should work just fine. The stronger the magnet, the more it will hold.

These are magnetic to be used on a metal door only. The part that sticks to the door is a solid piece. Take picture of your bracket to home depot or Lowes so you can see what would work.

I guess it would depend on what material your office door is made of (i.e. solid wood / metal). i have it on interior doors at home and the magnet is pretty strong. If you have a very heavy door it may hold but allow easy release if bumped. So far I have been happy with the product.
