Universal Business Supply Magnetic Bookends

These metal bookends measure 6 by 5 by 7 inches and use a magnetic base to grip metal surfaces such as filing cabinets or steel shelving. The black finish suits professional office environments. They hold heavy books and files without sliding.

Thermals noise and power draw

As passive metal office accessories the bookends generate no heat produce no noise and draw no electrical power. They require no external power source and add no thermal load to the workspace. Operation is completely silent.

Magnetic base and usage notes

The built-in magnets keep the bookends fixed on ferrous surfaces; on non-metal desks the base can be flipped inward for stability. No software drivers or additional accessories are included in the package. The one-year limited warranty covers manufacturing defects.

Questions about this item

How do I install the magnetic base on a metal file cabinet versus a wooden desk?

Place the bookends directly on the metal cabinet so the magnetic base grips; on wood or other non-metal surfaces, flip the base inward so the flat metal surface rests on the desk and the magnets face away.

What part of these bookends is most likely to need replacement over time?

The magnetic base can lose holding strength if the magnet is cracked or demagnetised by impact or heat, so the base assembly is the component that would eventually need replacing.

At what point will heavy books cause the bookends to slide despite the magnets?

The magnetic base resists sliding until the lateral force from heavy books exceeds the magnet's pull on the metal surface; on non-metal surfaces the flipped base relies only on friction, so sliding occurs sooner.
