5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Mousike Magnetic Door Catch:

- Step 2: Attach the Magnetic Catch
After marking, align the holes of the magnetic catch with the marked positions. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws clockwise until the catch is securely fastened. If using the adhesive option, stick the 3M film to the back of the catch and remove the red protective layer before pressing firmly into place.

6. Operating Instructions
The Mousike 90lb Magnetic Door Catch operates automatically.

The strong magnetic force ensures a secure closure, preventing accidental openings due to vibrations or light impacts.

7. Maintenance

8. Troubleshooting
- Issue: Door does not close securely.
Solution: Check the alignment of the magnetic catch and strike plate. Ensure they are directly opposite each other when the door is closed. Re-tighten all screws. If using adhesive, ensure the surface was clean and dry before application. - Issue: Door is difficult to open.
Solution: The 90lb magnetic force is strong. Ensure the catch is not misaligned, causing excessive friction. If the force is still too strong for your application, consider a magnetic catch with a lower holding capacity. - Issue: Magnetic catch or strike plate becomes loose.
Solution: Re-tighten all mounting screws. If the screw holes are stripped, consider using slightly larger screws or relocating the catch slightly.
