Deltana BC218RU26 Ball Catch Round Corners Chrome

Product Description

The DELTANA BC218RU26 is a ball catch with round corners finished in bright chrome. Ball catches are passive door retention hardware installed in the edge of a door and the corresponding strike in the door frame. When the door closes, a spring-loaded ball bearing engages the strike cup, holding the door in a closed position without a latch. This unit measures 2.1 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.8 inches in height. It is sold individually and is suitable for interior residential and light commercial door applications where a latching lockset is not required.

Ball catches are commonly used on passage doors, cabinet doors, and interior doors where a positive but non-locking close is preferred. Typical install scenarios include closet doors, French doors, and bi-fold panel doors in residential construction or light commercial buildouts. The bright chrome finish coordinates with standard chrome door hardware and trim packages. This catch is appropriate for wood door construction where the unit is mortised or surface-mounted into the door edge.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter, door hardware installer, or general contractor. The door and frame should be unpinned and stationary before mortising or drilling for the catch body and strike. A chisel and drill are standard tools for mortise work. Verify door edge thickness and frame rabbet depth before installation to confirm fitment clearance.
