Helpful Buying Guide

Choose magnets for the connection, surface and holding task

The right magnet depends on what you need to hold or mount, how the item will connect to the magnet, and whether the installation calls for a compact shape, surface protection, a threaded attachment or a raw magnetic component.

Use Cases

Create flexible holding points

Use magnetic hooks for lights, tools, keys and signs on ferrous metal surfaces. Other assemblies can position equipment, retain components, hold signs or secure aisle and lane chains.

How to Choose

Match the connection style

Choose an integrated hook or key ring for hanging and connection tasks. Select a threaded stud when compatible hardware or an assembly connection is needed, or a raw disk when building a custom arrangement.

Applications

Consider the mounting environment

Magnets are represented for metal doors, toolboxes, filing cabinets, magnetic surfaces, equipment assemblies and vertical metal surfaces. Some rare earth designs are intended to improve holding on thin metal.

Additional Info

Compare protection and temperature limits

Protective liners, non-scratch protectors and rubber jackets can help reduce scratching or marring. Listed temperature resistance ranges from 175°F on select assemblies to 390°F on one hard ferrite threaded assembly.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Start with the job

Select a magnet by the task it needs to perform

For ready-to-use hanging, an integrated hook provides a convenient point for lights, tools, keys or signs. A key ring is suited to holding signs and securing aisle or lane chains. For positioning or retaining compatible components, consider a round base, retaining assembly or mounting magnet with a threaded stud.

  • Choose a hook for direct hanging from ferrous metal surfaces.
  • Choose a key ring for connected holding tasks.
  • Choose a threaded stud when compatible hardware needs a magnetic attachment point.
  • Choose a raw magnet for a custom holding construction.
Review shape, material and contact needs

Balance profile and surface considerations

Round bases and disc assemblies offer compact magnetic attachment points, while rectangular rare earth magnets provide thin profiles for magnetic assemblies and attachments. Focused-field rare earth options are represented for close-proximity engagement and improved performance on thin metal. Where contact surfaces may be easily marred, look for a protective liner, non-scratch protector or rubber jacket.

  • Low-profile round designs can fit where clearance is limited.
  • Disc magnets provide compact attachment formats.
  • Rectangular magnets are available in thin, compact formats.
  • Rubber-jacketed and protected designs help reduce surface marking.
Confirm stated operating details

Check pull ratings, attachment details and temperature resistance

Several products list pull ratings, including 20 lb, 35 lb and 45 lb options. A center attachment hole can accept a hook or knob, while threaded stud products are intended for compatible threaded mounting needs. For applications involving heat, review the stated temperature resistance of the specific assembly.

  • Compare the stated pull rating for the intended application.
  • Verify that the attachment hole, hook, key ring or stud suits the item being connected.
  • Confirm the magnet material and assembly style when it matters to the build.
  • Check the stated temperature limit for the application environment.
FAQ

Common questions before buying

What can magnetic hooks be used for?
