Cabinet Catches and Latches That Keep Doors Shut Quietly
A catch or latch is what keeps a cabinet door from drifting open on its own. The quiet ones are worth seeking out: a roller or bullet catch gives a soft, adjustable hold, while a magnetic catch is dead simple and silent. For a door with no other lock, this is the whole closing mechanism.
Holding strength is the spec that matters, and more is not always better. Too strong a catch on a lightweight door means a yank every time, while too weak lets a door swing open. Adjustable roller catches let you dial it in.

Choosing well
