What is the most suitable magnet for holding my oven door closed?

Neodymium Magnets begin to lose their magnetism when exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C, making them unsuitable for use in ovens.

In contrast, Ceramic or Samarium magnets are excellent choices for keeping oven doors securely closed. Given the various designs and sizes of oven doors, it’s advisable to explore our full range to find the most suitable size for the gap between the door and frame. Any air gap between the magnet and the surface it’s attracting will reduce its holding strength. To achieve the best results, carefully measure the available space and select a magnet that closely matches its dimensions. In some cases, you may need to use multiple magnets to ensure a reliable hold.

Where you can use a screw for mounting we recommend the use of our Samarium Ring Magnets for an easy mounting solution.
