Deltana BC218RU15A Ball Catch Round Corners Antique Nickel

Product Description

The DELTANA BC218RU15A is a round-corner ball catch finished in antique nickel, designed for interior door hardware applications. Ball catches provide a light-tension closure hold for doors that do not require a full latch mechanism, keeping the door closed without a key or lever operation. The BC218RU15A measures 2.1 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.8 inches in height, making it well suited for standard residential and light commercial door installations. At 0.15 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component. Installation is straightforward and is typically handled by carpenters, general contractors, or finish hardware installers working on interior doors.

Ball catches like the BC218RU15A are commonly installed on interior passage doors, cabinet doors, and closet doors where a positive but easily released hold is required. The antique nickel finish integrates with period-style and transitional interior hardware sets. The round-corner profile fits standard routed or mortised door edge preparations without requiring corner chisel work, reducing installation time in production carpentry or remodel settings.

Installation Notes

Ball catches are installed by carpenters or finish hardware trades using a chisel, drill, and standard screwdrivers. Ensure the door edge mortise depth matches the catch body height before fastening to avoid face-plate gaps or binding. Align the strike plate on the door frame carefully so the ball engages cleanly under consistent tension. No electrical power or pneumatic shutoff is required for this hardware installation.
