I have sliding wood doors on my closets. Would these magnets hold strong enough to prevent an average size cat from opening the closet door?

I don't know for sure, but my guess would be yes. You could always use two of them if need be.

They are pretty strong.I used mine to secure kitchen cabinet doors that didn't want to close properly. If one magnet per door doesn't work, then I'm sure multiples would.

the magnet seems strong enough. I think the question would be if you are able at attach it to the door (assuming the door is metal)

I did not measure them but what I can tell you is, I have used many magnets before but I have not used any as strong as these. With your hands, if you get them any closer than 1/2 inch apart you cannot hold them back.

There aren't magnets on the top to attach to a metal door. The only magnets are in the middle where you walk through. If you don't attach the sides to a fixed wooden door then it will just come undone.

The magnetic cat flap is a lot cheaper and is cheaper to replace. I used to get Staywell Cat doors for my cats. Then they went all high tech and with that became more temperamental. I gave up with them eventually and I use Petsmart doors. Another thing the collar magnet doesn't require a magnet. The only reason to go "high tech" is if you are in a neighborhood where everyone has "keyed" doors and you need to keep some tomcat out of the house who would either wise have a key to your door. Nobody in my neighborhood has keyed cat doors. I have two because I have three cats and sometimes I need to quarantine a cat. I've just had trouble with them getting eye infections and I just remove a cats key and viola it can't leave the house. (You need two doors for this). This is the first that I've heard of "infrared cat doors" I googled them and saw Staywell and I hope that it's great. For me it's [Kiss= Keep it simple S]

If magnets stick, this would, especially if lots of flat area. It comes rolled so you may have to use electric taoe or other such tape to hold it to the door until it loses its curl. Sounds like a great idea.

Unfortunately yes they can. My 13lb cat pushes his way out all the time. My other cat is not willing to push through but with enough time she will pull both flaps open.

These are strong for their size, specified at 1.5 pound pull. The magnets will stick together. It is the weight of the plexiglas that determines if they will hold. I would use several magnets, attaching them to the door and plexiglas with a very strong adhesive.

(I have the extra large size for our Newfoundlands.) If it were a strong cat, yes. The magnets hold the two heavy, plastic flaps down. I don't have a cat, but I imagine it would be difficult but possible if that cat is determined.

the other one only goes down in the presence of the magnet. thats the whole point of the door, to only unlock for your cat wearing the magnet.

Yes there is a magnetic catch on the frame, and it also has a slide in panel that locks. It is awesome! Just be sure youget the right size for your pet, we have a 22lb cat and had to get a medium door for him to actually fit through. They seemto run a bit small on the inside dimensions, so be sure and measure your pet!

It's the distance between the top and bottom of the table you need to consider. I have a wooden butcher block table (an inch and a quarter of Teak) and I put one magnet on top and eight magnets below. Although the eight didn't fall, one slight bump or a move of the top magnet would make them drop. The magnetic force was too weak at that distance to hold with any real strength. If the table is thinner then maybe but this wasn't secure. If the table was magnetic metal then these magnets will stick - real fast and real hard.

These magnets are a bit more expensive than others, but they are well worth the cost. Not only are they very strong, but they will stick to anything, including unfinished wood. As a matter of fact, make sure that you have them positioned properly before you place them, because once there they are applied, It's almost impossible to pull them off to reposition them.

I haven't had any problem at all. My doors are hollow and I've installed three cat doors. I've only had to put a bit of wood glue on to hold it on...the cat door frame tends to slide off otherwise.

Food would be blocked from falling if door is push all the way open. For a cat it may work because the door wouldn't need to be open all the way.

This will serve your purpose. The doors don't bang when closed because of the cushion these provide. If you have a door which swings open on its own, then you would need a magnet.

I would say strong enough to hold when full of binder clips, paperclips, or other objects that might have some heft. Strength in magnets is a little hard to measure for these, but I use mine for a spice rack and I never worry about them falling off, even when nudged accidentally. Hope that helps.
