The two halves snap together firmly and release easily, making them practical for everyday bags that need to open and close repeatedly. The silver finish gives a classic, versatile look that works well with a wide range of fabrics and bag styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAt 18mm this is the standard larger size, making it a good choice for handbags, tote bags, clutch bags, and similar projects where a secure but easy fastening is needed. It can be fitted through fabric or into bag panels using the included washers, and no sewing is required for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included in the pack?\u003c\/strong\u003e One complete magnetic closure set comprising two magnetic discs (male and female) and two metal washers for fitting. One pack is sufficient for one bag closure point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you fit a magnetic bag closure?\u003c\/strong\u003e Mark your fixing positions on the bag fabric or lining, make small cuts to feed the prongs of each disc through, place the washer over the prongs on the reverse, and bend the prongs flat to secure. No sewing is required. It is generally easiest to fit the closures before assembling the final bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size bags is the 18mm closure suitable for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18mm size is the most widely used for standard handbags, shoulder bags, and clutch bags. It provides a strong, secure hold suitable for everyday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a magnetic closure damage phones or cards?\u003c\/strong\u003e At 18mm, these closures contain a small magnet. It is advisable to keep the closure away from contactless bank cards and to be mindful when carrying a phone in the same bag, as strong magnets can in some cases affect card strips and older magnetic storage media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this closure suitable for heavier bags?\u003c\/strong\u003e For lightweight to medium weight bags it works very well. For heavier bags or those carrying substantial loads, consider reinforcing the fixing point with a small piece of interfacing behind the fabric to prevent tearing around the prongs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Groves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56841366471031,"sku":"9479459","price":2.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0076\/2288\/5428\/files\/mgmbclasp.jpg?v=1772810051","url":"https:\/\/craftandcanvas.live\/products\/magnetic-bag-closure-18mm-silver","provider":"Craft and Canvas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
