Deltana BC218RU3 Ball Catch Round Corners Bright Brass

Product Description

The DELTANA BC218RU3 is a ball catch with round corners in a bright brass finish, designed for use in door and cabinet hardware applications. Ball catches provide a light-duty, spring-loaded retention mechanism that holds a door or panel in the closed position without a traditional latch or strike. This unit is machined to consistent tolerances and finished in bright brass, making it suitable for both functional and finish-sensitive installations. Architectural hardware installers and finish carpenters are the typical trades handling this component during new construction or renovation work.

The BC218RU3 fits standard residential and light commercial door and cabinet applications where a low-profile, unobtrusive catch is required. It is appropriate for interior doors, cabinet doors, and passage doors where positive latching is not required but controlled closure is desired. The round-corner profile suits installations where sharp-corner hardware would be objectionable or where the surrounding trim requires a softer edge treatment. This catch is sold individually as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter or general contractor as part of door hardware trim-out. Ensure the door or panel is properly hung and aligned before locating the catch to avoid binding or misalignment of the ball and strike. A drill and appropriate bit are required to mortise or surface-mount the catch body per the door or frame manufacturer recommendations. No power tools or specialized trade licensing are required for this hardware type under standard building codes.
