ABSTRACT:
A push releasable magnetic latch for cupboard doors or the like, comprising a first magnetic member secured to the cupboard door and a second magnetic member swing mounted to the cupboard structure about a pivot axis perpendicular to the path of travel of the door. The second member has a forward latching position and a rearward non-latching position, with a spring pushing the second member to its forward latching position. To open the door, the door is pushed inwardly to force the second magnetic member to its non-latching position where the two magnetic members are out of engagement, after which the door is abruptly released so that the spring causes the second member to push the door outwardly away from the cupboard structure.
