Magnetic catch ZT-C20_ – how to choose the right one
ZT-C20 is a magnetic catch with a neodymium magnet, set in a zinc-plated steel housing. The manufacturer declares a holding force of 18 kg – one of the few items in this group with a numerical value given.
Eighteen kilograms refers to the force with which the magnet holds the mating part, not to the mass of the leaf. In practice that is enough margin for fronts someone closes carelessly and for doors working against a springy gasket.
The steel housing makes a difference during installation. The screw holds in metal rather than plastic, so the fitting takes a sideways yank – an everyday occurrence where someone opens a door with their hands full.
How to match the handle to the door thickness and settle the key system – we explained it in the selection guide for this category.
Where it works
- Doors opened with a yank, with hands full
- Fronts with a strong gasket that tend to bounce back
- Technical units with heavy traffic
- Places where a stated holding force matters

Ask a questionWhat exactly does a holding force of 18 kg mean?
It is the force with which the magnet holds the plate lying against it, measured at full contact. Every gap and every misalignment lowers that value, so in a real unit the resistance is less than the catalogue figure.
Does a neodymium magnet weaken over time?
In typical furniture service conditions the loss is small. A noticeable loss is caused only by high temperature and impact, which is why the fitting is not placed near heat sources.
How does ZT-C20 differ from ZT-W20?
In catalogue data, not at all – both have a neodymium magnet, a zinc-plated housing and a declared 18 kg. The difference sits in a construction the manufacturer does not spell out, so it is ordered by symbol.
