20mm Neodymium Pot Magnet with Spring Locking Hook – 9kg Pull Strength

20mm Neodymium Pot Magnet with Spring Locking Hook

This compact 20mm neodymium pot magnet with spring locking hook provides a secure and removable hanging point on suitable steel surfaces. The spring-loaded gate helps prevent cables, cords, rings and other attached items from accidentally slipping out of the hook.

With an approximate 9kg direct pull strength, this magnetic locking hook is suitable for hanging and organising lightweight items in workshops, warehouses, garages, retail displays, caravans and around the home. No drilling or permanent installation is required.

Specifications

• Product Type: Neodymium Pot Magnet with Spring Locking Hook
• Magnet Diameter: 20mm
• Overall Height: 43mm
• Spring Hook Opening: 7mm
• Pull Strength: Approx. 9kg
• Recommended Steel Thickness: Minimum 3mm

Spring-Loaded Locking Hook

Unlike a standard open magnetic hook, the integrated spring gate helps keep the attached item inside the hook. The gate opens easily when pressed and automatically returns to the closed position when released.

This makes the hook particularly useful for holding cords, cables, small chains, key rings, signs and hanging accessories that may otherwise slip from an open hook if bumped or moved.

Common Applications

• Workshop and garage organisation
• Hanging cables, cords and extension leads
• Warehouse storage and equipment organisation
• Retail displays and temporary signage
• Hanging keys and lightweight tools
• Caravan and camping organisation
• Attaching decorations to steel surfaces
• Temporary hanging points on machinery and steel shelving

How Pull Strength Is Measured

The stated 9kg pull strength is measured when the magnet is in direct contact with clean, flat mild steel that is at least 3mm thick, with the force applied directly away from the steel surface.

Actual holding performance may be reduced by thin steel, paint, rust, curved surfaces, surface coatings, gaps, vibration or sideways loading. When mounted on a vertical surface, the practical hanging capacity will be lower than the stated direct pull strength.

Important Safety Information

Always test the magnetic hook in its intended application before use. Do not position it above people or use it to support fragile, valuable or safety-critical items. Ensure the magnet is attached to a clean, suitable ferromagnetic steel surface before applying a load.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a spring locking hook?

A spring locking hook has a spring-loaded gate across the hook opening. The gate helps prevent an attached cord, ring or accessory from accidentally slipping out of the hook.

What size is the hook opening?

The spring hook has an opening gap of approximately 7mm.

Will this magnetic hook attach to stainless steel?

It will only attach securely to magnetic grades of stainless steel. Many commonly used stainless-steel surfaces are weakly magnetic or non-magnetic.

Is the 9kg rating suitable for vertical hanging?

The 9kg rating is a direct pull measurement taken perpendicular to the steel surface. Vertical hanging places the magnet under sideways or shear loading, so its practical vertical holding capacity will be considerably lower.

Available Sizes

This Neodymium Pot Magnet with Spring Locking Hook is available in a range of sizes to suit different applications and holding requirements.

• 16mm Neodymium Pot Magnet with Spring Locking Hook
• 20mm Neodymium Pot Magnet with Spring Locking Hook
• 25mm Neodymium Pot Magnet with Spring Locking Hook
• 32mm Neodymium Pot Magnet with Spring Locking Hook
• 36mm Neodymium Pot Magnet with Spring Locking Hook
• 42mm Neodymium Pot Magnet with Spring Locking Hook
• 48mm Neodymium Pot Magnet with Spring Locking Hook
• 60mm Neodymium Pot Magnet with Spring Locking Hook

Larger diameter magnets generally provide greater holding force, making them suitable for heavier hanging and industrial applications.
