Is there a chance of the magnet scratching the paint on the cabnitry?

I don't think so. Ours is wood and it does not scratch and we have used it for over 6 months now. We have 5 kids and two are special needs ages 10 and 14 and they work great!! I would have never imagined I would like these locks so much We have tried so many things over the years. Wish I would have found these years ago.

It hasn't scratched my wood finish at all, but I imagine it could be possible to scratch the paint. The magnet is strong enough though, that gluing some felt over the magnet wouldn't affect it's ability to open the locks, and would definitely protect your paint. To me it would be worth doing, because these locks are by far the best cabinet child lock system that I've found.

No, you just place the magnet against the cabinet, you don't slide it around. Some of mine don't even touch the cabinet and the lock releases. Depending on how thick the wood is.

Man I'm sorry to hear that. If the key scratch goes through the clear coat I don't think this will help. This is for the spider webs and swirls you see in the sun in your paint. I don't know if you have a buffer but I would start with a more aggressive polish (V34 or V36?) on the orbital and work your way up. If you don't have a machine find a detailer. It would probable be cheaper that way and he will do it right.

If a magnet attracts to the metal, it is going to RUST ! If a magnet does not attract, it will not.

It bent our bumper. I haven't removed it so I couldn't tell you if it leaves scratch marks.

I just spotted this looking for a solution to the problem I'm having with the product -- there's a mounting magnet ring on the back of the glowy button thing, which is quite nice. The problem is that the adhesive on the the back of the ring began to release on hot days in the car. No problem, I'd stick it back on the dash and it'd be fine until the car's interior reached inhospitable temperatures. Lather, rinse, repeat. Until my wife borrowed the car and somehow the magnet ring came up missing. It's my fault, really, as I intended to super glue the ring to the dash to alleviate the weakening sticker-adhesive. Problem now is I can't find a replacement magnetic ring! So, to answer your question, the adhesive doesn't hold up particularly well to hot interiors. :)

I would think that it might bond fine but that it would not leave a flawless, flat, surface when trying to write over it. When I touched up my washing machine it just "painted" it and you can definitely see where the scratch is and how I painted it in.

No, it has a plastic coating over the magnet. It hasn't scratched my husband's Glock.

My opinion is that it would be marginal... You might be better off to use a magnetic sheet of steel, and paint it with White Board paint (i've never used that though, just seen it advertised).

i recieved 2 steps for 84.00 acording to my records, i have not taken my steps off but i would guess thet the paint will not scrape off.OK good luck.

I simply twisted the threaded knob hard against the pole and friction keeps it in place. I imagine it would scrape the paint if it did twist. You could drill a hole in the pole if it wish to hold it that one position.

If you are not careful when you are removing and putting the bottom hook in-place, it is pretty easy to scratch paint off. The top hooks resulted in no scratching what-so-ever. If you are careful, the hooks do not scratch anything. If you are careless, the hooks have the ability to scratch the paint off.

if it's a painted trim, you have to be careful rubbing because it will remove some paint if rubbed to hard.

No. You would be wise to confirm with a body shop. I would think the metal embedded in the rust stains would simply be ground further into the paint.

This set is powder-coated steel, not aluminum, so if the paint was scraped then that spot would rust. We suggested using a cover for maximum protection against the elements to avoid any issues.

Quite likely. I'd suggest applying a bit of tape to a unobtrusive area (where damage cannot be seen or be repainted over) and rip it off to see the effect...

There is no sign of the colored coating wearing away on mine but this would probably vary depending on how roughly they are used. The blades on mine are attracted to a magnet.

It must be steel rod as it'll attract a magnet. It looks like it's chromed to me. I presume it can be painted if roughened up with sand paper first.
