Precision Lock Services PLS24PRO – Frequently Asked Questions
1) I have doors that keep drifting open because the closer is weak. Will a concealed magnetic catch hold them shut?
That is the job the PLS24PRO is built for. It is specified for problem doors that will not stay shut, including doors with weak closers, doors with electric strikes, doors with a tired roller mortise lock, and double sliding doors. The magnetic pull does the holding, so you are not depending on the closer to seat a latch. Worth being clear on what it does not do: it keeps a door closed, it does not secure it, so on an opening that also needs to be locked the catch works alongside the lock rather than in place of it.
2) Will a magnetic door catch be visible on the jamb when the door is closed?
No. The PLS24PRO is fully concealed once the door is shut, with no strike plate lip standing proud of the jamb. That is the difference from a surface magnetic catch, where the strike is fixed to the face of the frame and stays in view. On finished millwork, wardrobe fronts, cupboard doors, and double internal doors where the reveal is on show, that is usually the reason to go concealed in the first place.
3) Do magnetic door catches wear out or lose their grip after a few thousand cycles?
On the PLS24PRO the two magnet halves do not make contact once the catch is set, so there is no face-to-face rubbing and nothing that grinds itself down over time. That is the practical difference from a ball or roller catch, where a spring and a bearing take the load on every cycle and eventually go soft. On a door that gets used all day, that is what decides how often maintenance comes back to the same opening.
4) Is there a door catch that does not click or bang when the door closes?
The PLS24PRO produces no latch noise on opening or closing. There is no bolt dropping into a strike and no ball snapping over a lip, which is where the click comes from on a conventional catch. On patient rooms, guest rooms, exam rooms, libraries, and offices where a slamming interior door is a complaint generator, that is the reason to pick a magnetic catch over a roller.
5) What finishes does the PLS24PRO concealed magnetic catch come in, and can it be painted to match the door?
Two finishes: Silver and Black. Order the black one as PLS24PRO-BLK. Beyond that, the catch can be painted over after it is installed, so if the doors are getting repainted, or the finish needs to disappear into a stile that is neither silver nor black, you paint it with the door rather than hunting for a special finish. For a property manager standardizing across a building, that means one part number covers openings with mixed door colors.
6) Will a magnetic catch cause a problem on a door with an electric strike?
No, and it is one of the situations the PLS24PRO is specified for. Openings with an electric strike often will not stay shut on their own, since the keeper gives up its holding force to the release mechanism. The catch adds the hold at the door edge while leaving the strike to do the access control. Same story on a door with a weak roller mortise lock, where the lock is still functional but the door drifts.
7) Will this magnetic catch work on a pair of double doors or a double sliding door?
Yes on both. The PLS24PRO is listed for double internal doors, and it is one of the fixes named for double sliding doors that will not stay closed. Because it holds magnetically rather than dropping a bolt into a strike, there is no lip to clear, which is what makes it usable where a sliding leaf meets its partner and a conventional catch has nothing to bite on. For a pair of swinging leaves, plan on treating each leaf as its own opening.
8) Does a concealed magnetic catch add any security to a door?
No. The PLS24PRO holds a door in the closed position and nothing more. It has no bolt, no keeper to engage, and no keying, so it does not resist a pull on the door and it is not a substitute for a latch, a lock, or a deadbolt. Use it on interior openings where the problem is a door that drifts open, and keep the locking hardware on any opening that genuinely has to be secured.
9) For a door in a busy corridor, do I need a heavy-duty magnetic catch or will the PLS24PRO hold up?
Trimco's 810 Series is built as a heavy-duty magnetic catch and is the one to specify when the opening is written for heavy duty hardware. The Precision Lock PLS24PRO is a commercial-rated magnetic catch whose magnets do not contact after installation, so there is nothing rubbing and nothing to wear out, and the magnetism is guaranteed for life. It is also the one to use when the catch has to stay hidden, since it leaves no protruding strike plate lip when the door is closed and can be painted over after installation. Both hold the door magnetically, so neither adds the click of a spring-loaded roller.
10) Will a roller catch do the same job as the PLS24PRO on a door that keeps drifting open?
A roller or ball catch takes the same prep - the PLS24PRO installs where a roller or ball catch would normally go - but it works differently. A roller catch is a sprung mechanical part that has to be pushed past a strike, so it makes noise and the moving parts see wear. The PLS24PRO holds magnetically, its magnets do not touch after installation so the catch will not wear out, there is no latch noise opening or closing, and the magnetism is guaranteed for life. It is also completely concealed with no protruding strike plate lip when the door is shut, and it can be painted over. It is meant for problem doors, including ones with weak closers, electric strikes, weak roller mortise locks, or double sliding doors.
11) Is the PLS24PRO rated for commercial buildings or is it a residential cabinet catch?
Commercial. Precision Lock rates the PLS24PRO for commercial use, and it is sized for full-size interior doors rather than being a cabinet-only part. It also covers the lighter openings in the same building, wardrobe and cupboard doors included, so an MRO buyer standardizing a hotel, dorm, or medical office can run one catch across the interior openings instead of stocking two.
12) What other magnetic door catches can I buy instead of the Precision Lock PLS24PRO?
The Trimco 810 Heavy-Duty Magnetic Catch, from the 810 Series, is the other magnetic catch in the same family of hardware. Choose on how the catch presents at the opening: the PLS24PRO is the concealed one, sitting where a roller or ball catch goes, invisible with the door shut, and paintable after install. If you need the catch hidden on finished millwork or a visible reveal, that is the deciding factor. If concealment is not a requirement on the opening, the Trimco is worth pricing alongside it.
