I am going to be installing cabinets &amp; was wondering if the magnets are strong enough to work through the cabinet backing?

Very unlikely. A cabinet backing is either 1/2" thick or it is thinner stuff but has a 1/2" frame keeping it off the wall. That's too far away, the magnets won't stick. This product only works on studs with drywall nails or screws in it. Those are just below the surface. However, many framing areas call for a lot more studs than are required for hanging drywall, so the drywall crew just skips them. If you don't also have a traditional stud finder, you should have one of those before you have this. Also, why do you want to detect studs through the cabinet backing? Why not mark studs before hand on the back splash and above where the top cabinets will sit? I thought you're supposed to connect cabinets to the wall through the rails at the top and bottom, not inside the cabinet.

The answer to that is,no. The do not see anything that will attach for under cabinet. Sorry.

It is galvanized steel, so magnets work. But, it's also mesh so it doesn't have a solid surface to hold real well. I put a kitchen magnet on it, and it held. But it was easy to slide the magnet around. So I can't fully answer your question , without knowing what your doing with the magnets.

These should work fine for a cabinet application. Make sure it's good epoxy though.

Yes the magnet works really good and is very strong.....I attach it to my tailgate looking down at the hitch...I worry about scratching the paint but haven't had that problem yet

I'm sure they could, the only require about 1/4 inch to be fastened properly.to be honest though I am not impressed at all with these, the magnets are very weak. They do keep my cabinets closed but a small bump will release it from the magnet. If you are using them in something moving I would suggest Getting something stronger than these

I used them with sheer door panels and they were fine as far as thickness goes. The magnets were not strong enough to allow you to pull the sheers taut. If you just place them so they are not under too much tension, they are fine.

I don't think so. The magnets just work to find the drywall screws that have been hidden under thin layer of paper and spackle. But they do that pretty well. It would be great for locating the studs so that you can attach the braced that hold the cabinets, but not through extra layers of material. I would recommend buying extra magnets. This is a good gadget for your toolbox, and not to expensive either.

Im not sure about the wood cabinet door. It would probably work if the thickness of the door is similar to the finished thickness of drywall (about 5/8"). Yes it comes with a backing bracket, which should also allow for some flexibility in the material you mount it too (wood cabinet).

Antonio, thanks for the question. The magnets are very strong and just in case you are not totally satisfied, write me and I'll take care of you. No worries at all.

Yes. Leave off the "over the door hooks" and put screws through the back of the cabinet into the wall/studs. The holes are already there to do so.

Should be - the magnets are not that strong but are good for small items like yours.

Yes, as long as you have the room for the knives under the cabinet the magnet will hold them. I love mine. The wood is great quality and the magnet is very strong. :)

Hi Susan, Hi Susan, Yes, those will secure your slides to back of cabinet. But with full extension slides you be much better off if you can figure a way to secure the slides to the cabinet walls rather than putting all the leveraged weight on those brackets. If you can fill in space between cabinet wall and face frame with strips of plywood. You can run the up and down at screw holes on slide or horizontal for single drawer installation. It's cheaper too! Good luck.

Mine dropped back open too, my husband put shims between the upper magnets and the under part of the cabinet. Worked for a while but then started dropping down again.....

Yes and it's great. I don't know about the screws. They did not go all the way thru my cabinet, but that would depend on the thickness of yours as all cabinets are different. I really, really love mine.

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.
