Magnetic Cabinet Lock - smaller mounting bracket for Vmaisi locks

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK - strength will vary significantly based on filament, print settings, and installation - have your prints professionally tested for strength before use. No warranty is implied.

The mounting bracket that “Vmaisi” magnetic cabinet locks come with is too large to fit in many cabinet locations. This is a smaller “low profile” bracket design that can be swapped in to allow the locks to be installed in smaller cabinets or where cabinet hardware may get in the way.

Uses the original mounting screws and requires no additional hardware.

Printing

• Print vertically coming off the print bed to ensure layer lines don't create a critical weakness
• 4 perimeters recommended for strength

Modification of Vmaisi locks

The Vmaisi lock is made of 2 pieces, which are locked together using a plastic tab which is hidden under the adhesive foam tape. We'll start by removing the lock body from the original bracket.

• Optionally peel back adhesive tape as shown in photos, to expose the plastic tab
• Using needle-nose pliers or another tool, press down on tab and slide lock body out of bracket - it is a very tight tab!

Installation

You will use 2 original mounting screws to install this bracket - double-sided tape is NOT sufficient, since the exposed surface area is significantly reduced, and adhesives may not stick to print surfaces!

• Slide lock body into printed bracket
• Optionally use double-sided tape on back of bracket to temporarily position lock on cabinet door
• Once positioned, slide lock body out of bracket, leaving bracket in place on the cabinet door
• Install just one screw inside the bracket area - which will be covered when lock body is installed
• Slide lock body into bracket
• Install the second screw on the end of the bracket - this will secure the lock body in place and prevent it from sliding out
