ABSTRACT:
A magnet has a contact face, a registry edge and restraint apertures in which lodge resilient restraints of a magnet holder. The holder has snap fingers and locators for securing the holder to a door stop of a door frame, preferably in an indented section of the stop. The holder cavity has a rocker ridge contacting the registry edge of the magnet, and restraint fingers. The cavity walls, the restraint fingers and the limiting rocker ridge hold the magnet so its contact face has limited freedom to adjust for surface to surface contact with a catch plate or strike on a swinging door. Preferably the magnet holder is shaped with relief openings between the snap fingers, the locators, the cavity walls and the resilient restraint fingers to be conventionally moldable in one piece.
