The wall mounted magnetic fixings that instantly convert your wall bracket into a magnetic mount

These wall mounted magnetic fixings are the accessory that makes your wall fittings instantly magnetic. Designed to pair with either the wall strap receiver or the wall fixing bracket from the Potelet® modular crowd control system, they allow these components to hold firmly against any metal surface — no drilling required. Simply place, reposition, or remove in a single gesture, with no tools and no marks left on the wall.

The kit includes 5 neodymium magnets, a material renowned for its exceptional holding power despite its compact format: 3 magnets of 16 mm and 2 magnets of 25 mm. This combination of diameters distributes the retaining force and ensures a firm grip on ferrous surfaces.

What are these wall mounted magnetic fixings used for?

Their purpose is straightforward: to eliminate the need for a drill. Rather than screwing and plugging a receiver or bracket directly into the wall, you simply fit the neodymium magnets and press the assembly against any metal surface. The result is a fully removable fixing — ideal when your crowd control layout changes frequently, when equipment is shared across multiple zones, or when you need to avoid marking a rented or temporary wall.

This is also the go-to solution when drilling is not advisable: metal cladding, roller shutters, steel structures, or machinery panels. These wall mounted magnetic fixings open up mounting options where conventional screws are simply not an option.

Which components do they fit?

This accessory is not a standalone product: it completes two elements within the Potelet® range. It mounts onto the wall strap receiver — the wall-side component that accepts the retractable strap tip — and onto the wall fixing bracket designed to hold a strap retractor. In both cases, the goal is the same: convert a screwed fixing into a magnetic one, with no other changes to your existing installation.

The integration relies on the exclusive Potelet® modular safety barrier system, which makes all components interchangeable. Fitting the magnets to the bracket is quick and straightforward, with no special adaptation required.

Compatible metal surfaces

The magnetic fixing works on any surface containing iron: steel sheet, metal panels, structural uprights, technical enclosures, metal furniture. The flatter, cleaner, and more ferrous the surface, the stronger the hold.

Conversely, the magnet will not adhere to non-ferrous materials: non-magnetic stainless steel, aluminium, glass, wood, or bare plasterboard do not retain magnets. For these surfaces, screw-and-wall-plug fixing remains the preferred method. Always check the nature of your wall before choosing between screwed and magnetic fixing.

One-gesture installation and removal

The key advantage of these wall mounted magnetic fixings lies in their operational flexibility. Once the bracket is fitted, it can be positioned and removed as quickly as it is placed: no screw holes, no filling, no damage to the wall. You can reorganise your safety layout as your needs evolve, move a strap retractor from one zone to another, or store the entire assembly between uses. This modularity makes it an ideal complement for spaces that change regularly: frequently reconfigured reception areas, retail environments with shifting customer flow, or industrial sites where zoned areas need to be repositioned.

Typical applications in B2B environments

In trade show and exhibition settings, these magnetic wall fixings allow booth managers to mount retractable strap posts against steel partition walls without leaving any damage after the event. In corporate offices or hotel lobbies with metal framework, front-of-house teams can reconfigure queue management layouts between morning and afternoon sessions. Facilities managers at large retail outlets frequently use this no-drill system to adapt crowd guidance zones around changing promotional displays or seasonal floor plans.

FAQ

• Can I use these magnets on a painted metal surface? Yes — the neodymium magnets grip effectively through standard paint layers, provided the underlying surface is ferrous.
• Are the magnets suitable for permanent outdoor use? These magnets are designed primarily for indoor use. Prolonged outdoor exposure to moisture may reduce holding strength over time; indoor metal surfaces are the ideal application.
• Do I need any tools to fit the magnets onto the bracket? No tools are required. The magnets slot directly onto the Potelet® wall strap receiver or wall fixing bracket for immediate magnetic deployment.
