1.Quiet Operation

 

The magnetic latch offers a simple and seamless operation. The latch remains flush with the door while open and is only thrown when the door is closed, activated by magnets embedded in the latch and strikeplate. Magnetic latches are quieter than standard latches due to the padding in the strikeplate that softens the latch entering the strikeplate.
