If you’re ordering a new pre-hung door, it’s worth thinking about concealed door magnets at the same time.
They are a simple addition that keeps doors firmly closed – without visible catches, latches or extra hardware on show.
At Montage Doors, we can install concealed magnets into your door jamb during manufacturing, so everything is neat, accurate and hidden once the door is installed.
A concealed door magnet is a strong magnetic catch drilled into the top of the door jamb.
Once installed:
You cannot see it when the door is closed
There is no visible hardware on the face of the jamb
The door stays securely shut
Because the magnet is hidden in the top of the jamb, the finish looks clean and uncluttered.
The key benefit is factory installation.
When magnets are ordered at the same time as your pre-hung door:
They are drilled neatly into the top of the jamb
The placement is accurate
The finish is tidy
No visible hardware is exposed
If you decide to add magnets later (after installation), the only practical option is usually drilling up from the underside of the jamb.
That means:
The magnet will be visible when the door is open
The finish is not as clean
It is harder to achieve a tidy result
Ordering at the time of manufacture avoids all of this.
Perfect for:
The magnet keeps the passive leaf firmly shut without needing visible bolts or catches.
For example:
The magnet holds the door closed while keeping the look simple.
Wardrobes
Hall cupboards
Storage cupboards
Double internal doors
They are especially popular in modern homes where clients want a minimal look without extra fittings.
Concealed magnets are a minor addition to your order, but they make a noticeable difference to the final result.
By planning ahead and adding them when ordering your pre-hung door, you get:
If you’re ordering pre-hung doors through Montage Doors, let us know early if you’d like concealed magnets included.
Because they are drilled into the jamb during manufacturing, they need to be specified at the time of order.
