Precision Lock PLS24PRO-XHD Extra Heavy Duty Concealed Magnetic Catch
The PLS24PRO-XHD is a fully concealed magnetic disc catch rated for heavy commercial doors, pull-handle entry doors, and custom applications where a conventional roller or ball catch is difficult to replace or unsuitable. The magnetic discs never make contact after installation, so the catch has no wear surface and will not degrade over time.
Key Features
- Fully concealed when door is closed - no visible hardware on door face or frame
- No-contact magnetic disc design: magnets do not touch after installation, eliminating wear
- No latch noise on closing
- Includes power-adjustment spacer ring to tune holding force for the application
- SmartBore installation system included for quick, accurate boring
- Direct replacement for roller catches and ball catches
- Available in Silver and Black finishes
Typical Applications
- Pull-handle doors without a latch mechanism
- Heavy commercial interior doors
- Custom millwork and cabinetry requiring a concealed hold
- Retrofit replacement where roller or ball catches have failed or worn out

Precision Lock Services PLS24PRO/XHD – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Precision Lock PLS24PRO-XHD magnetic catch hold a pull-handle door that has no latch in it?
That is the opening it is built for. The PLS24PRO-XHD is a magnetic disc catch, so it holds the door closed by magnetic pull instead of a latchbolt dropping into a strike, and a pull-handle door with no latch mechanism gets a positive hold without cutting in a lock or strike prep. Precision Lock rates it for pull-handle entry doors, heavy commercial interior doors, and custom applications, and the holding force can be tuned with the power-adjustment spacer ring that comes with it.
2) Can a PLS24PRO-XHD magnetic catch replace a worn-out roller catch or ball catch?
Yes, and that is one of the stated uses. Precision Lock lists the PLS24PRO-XHD as a direct replacement for roller catches and ball catches, including retrofit work where the existing catch has failed or worn out. The reason it is worth swapping to is the design: the magnetic discs never touch each other once installed, so there is no wear surface to flatten out the way a roller or ball tension catch does. The kit includes the SmartBore installation system for boring the door and frame.
3) Is a magnetic catch enough to secure a door, or do I still need a latch?
A catch is not a lock. The PLS24PRO-XHD holds a door in the closed position by magnetic pull, which keeps it from drifting open, but it gives no security and it is not a latching device. If the opening needs to resist being pushed open, be keyed, or be locked down, it needs a lockset or a latch, not a catch. Fire-rated openings are the other case to watch: a fire door assembly has to positively latch, and a magnetic catch does not latch. Use this on non-rated pull-handle doors, heavy commercial interior doors, and millwork where the job is simply holding the leaf shut.
4) How do I get more holding power out of the PLS24PRO-XHD on a heavy door?
Use the power-adjustment spacer ring that ships with the catch. It sets how much pull the magnetic discs deliver, so a heavy commercial leaf can be tuned up and a lighter millwork door tuned down to where it still opens easily by hand. That adjustment is what lets one catch cover both a heavy pull-handle entry door and a cabinet or custom millwork door rather than needing two different parts.
5) What else can I use instead of the Precision Lock PLS24PRO-XHD on a heavy commercial door?
The closest peer is the Trimco 810 Heavy-Duty Magnetic Catch, part of Trimco's 810 Series. Where the two part ways is how the catch sits in the opening: the Precision Lock PLS24PRO-XHD is fully concealed when the door is closed, with no hardware visible on the door face or the frame, and its magnetic discs never make contact after installation, so there is no wear surface to degrade. It also comes with a power-adjustment spacer ring so holding force can be tuned to the opening, and a SmartBore installation system for boring the door and frame. Silver and Black are the two finishes the PLS24PRO-XHD is built in.
6) Will a magnetic catch wear out on a high-traffic commercial door?
The PLS24PRO-XHD has no wear surface to begin with. Its magnetic discs do not make contact once the catch is installed, so unlike a roller or ball catch there is no spring tension to relax and no bearing surface to flatten with cycles. Precision Lock classes it as commercial-duty and rates it for heavy commercial doors, which is the difference that matters if you are standardizing on one catch across corridor and office doors in a building.
7) Does the PLS24PRO-XHD show any hardware on the door face when the door is shut, and does the finish matter if it is concealed?
Nothing shows. The PLS24PRO-XHD mounts concealed, with no visible hardware on the door face or the frame when the door is closed, which is why it suits glass-front and custom millwork work where a surface catch would read as an add-on. Finish still matters for the open position, since the catch face and the frame cup are in view whenever the door stands open. It comes in Silver and Black, so pick the one that disappears against the door edge and jamb color.
8) Does a concealed magnetic catch need wiring or a power supply?
No wiring, no transformer, no power at all. The PLS24PRO-XHD works off permanent magnetic discs, so it is a purely mechanical part that bores into the door and frame and holds the leaf shut on its own. That is worth pinning down because magnetic catches get confused with electromagnetic locks, which are a different product and do require a power supply and access control. Nothing in this catch drops out when the building loses power.
9) The door schedule calls out a Trimco 810 Series magnetic catch. What crosses over to the Precision Lock PLS24PRO-XHD?
The Trimco 810 is a heavy-duty magnetic catch in the 810 Series. The Precision Lock PLS24PRO-XHD is an extra heavy duty magnetic catch built for the same duty class: heavy commercial interior doors, pull-handle doors that have no latch mechanism, and custom millwork where a conventional roller or ball catch is unsuitable. Two things to confirm against the schedule before swapping. First, the PLS24PRO-XHD installs concealed and shows nothing on the door face or frame when the door is closed, so if a visible catch face was expected in the elevation, the appearance changes. Second, its holding force is set at install using the included power-adjustment spacer ring rather than being fixed, which lets one model cover openings of different weights on the same schedule.
10) Worn roller catches keep failing on our interior doors. Is the Precision Lock PLS24PRO-XHD a substitute, or do I need to stay with a roller catch?
The Precision Lock PLS24PRO-XHD is a direct replacement for roller catches and ball catches, and retrofit into openings where those have failed or worn out is one of the applications it is built for. A roller or ball catch holds by physical contact, which is the part that wears; the PLS24PRO-XHD holds magnetically and its discs do not touch after installation, so there is no wear surface, and it closes without latch noise. If the requirement is to stay with a magnetic catch of comparable duty, the Trimco 810 Heavy-Duty Magnetic Catch is the other option in that class.
11) What is a quiet way to hold an office or patient-room door closed without the click of a latch?
A magnetic catch is the usual answer, and the PLS24PRO-XHD is built for it. There is no latch noise on closing because nothing snaps into a strike, the door simply comes to the frame and the magnetic discs hold it. Since the discs never touch, there is no metal-on-metal contact each time the door swings shut either. In a corridor of offices or quiet rooms, that removes the click a roller or ball catch makes on every cycle.
12) Can the PLS24PRO-XHD be used on cabinetry and custom millwork, or is it only a door catch?
Both. Precision Lock lists custom millwork and cabinetry needing a concealed hold as a stated application alongside heavy commercial doors. The concealed mounting is the reason it gets specified on millwork, since nothing breaks the face of the panel, and the power-adjustment spacer ring lets you back the pull down so a light cabinet door still opens with a normal tug rather than fighting the magnet.
13) What is the difference between the Precision Lock PLS24PRO-XHD and the Trimco 810 magnetic catch?
Both are heavy-duty magnetic catches, and the deciding factor is whether the hardware can show. The PLS24PRO-XHD is fully concealed once the door is closed, with nothing visible on the door face or the frame, and it bores in using the included SmartBore system, so it fits work where the opening has to look clean or where a roller or ball catch is being retired. Trimco's alternative is the 810 Series Heavy-Duty Magnetic Catch. If you are matching existing Trimco hardware across a building, that is the one to look at; if the requirement is a concealed hold with adjustable pull, the PLS24PRO-XHD is the fit.
14) What do I need to install a PLS24PRO-XHD, and does it come with a template?
The catch ships with the SmartBore installation system, which is the boring aid for getting the door and frame holes located accurately, plus the power-adjustment spacer ring for setting holding force. Installation is a bored prep in the door edge and the jamb rather than a mortise, which is why it drops into openings where a roller or ball catch has already been cut in. Order the finish to match the opening: Silver or Black.
