- Questions

What type of catch works best for boat cabin doors?

Magnetic catches work well for most cabin doors on Gold Coast vessels, providing positive closure without handles protruding into walkways. Choose heavy-duty magnetic catches rated for door weight and vessel motion. Roller catches suit applications needing precise adjustment throughout Brisbane and SE Queensland. Compression latches work best for watertight or weather-resistant doors requiring firm sealing pressure.

How do I prevent cabinet doors from rattling underway?

Install double roller catches or heavy-duty magnetic catches on the Tweed Coast to eliminate rattling. Single catches may not hold firmly enough in rough water. Ensure catches are properly aligned and adjusted for full engagement. Adding soft-close bumpers at hinge side also reduces noise. Quality marine catches with strong holding force prevent annoying cabinet rattles offshore.

Can I adjust door catches if doors swell or shift?

Roller catches offer adjustment screws for alignment changes as doors swell from humidity on the Gold Coast. Magnetic catches have fixed positioning but work across small gaps. Compression latches handle dimensional changes well with their draw mechanism throughout Brisbane and SE Queensland. Marine environments cause wood swelling, so choose catches with adjustment capability or tolerance for movement.

What holding force do I need for offshore conditions?

Offshore vessels on the Tweed Coast need catches rated for at least 3-5kg holding force to resist vessel motion in rough seas. Coastal cruisers handle 2-3kg catches adequately. Heavier cabinet doors require proportionally stronger catches. Multiply required holding force by 1.5-2 for safety margin in extreme conditions. Test catches in rough water before extended offshore passages.
