Choose according to the security needed, panel thickness, door overlap and whether keyed or quick pull-open access is required.
Cabinet Closures for Storage Doors
Cupboard locks and latches keep cabinet and storage doors closed without the size of full door hardware. The right fitting depends on whether the cupboard needs keyed control, a positive catch or simple pull-open access.
Measure the door and frame, note whether the fitting will be surface mounted or recessed, and check the available clearance behind the panel. Browse the broader locks and latches collection for related closing mechanisms.
For frequently opened cabinets, magnetic catches provide a neat closure without a key. Heavier timber cupboard doors also depend on correctly aligned cabinet or door hinges, because a catch will not correct a sagging door.

Often yes, provided there is enough material and clearance for the lock body, cam or keep.
A magnetic or roller catch can provide simple closure where keyed security is unnecessary.
Loose hinges, a warped door or incorrect keep position can move the contact point. Correct alignment before redrilling.
Standard cabinet locks are not automatically child-safety products. Use fittings specifically designed and tested for that purpose.
