Deltana BC218RU5 Ball Catch Round Corners Antique Brass

Product Description

The DELTANA BC218RU5 is a ball catch with round corners finished in antique brass, designed for use in door and cabinet hardware applications. A ball catch works by using a spring-loaded ball bearing to hold a door or panel in a closed position without requiring a traditional latch mechanism. This makes it well suited for interior doors, cabinetry, and millwork where a clean, low-profile closure solution is needed. At 2.1 inches in length and 0.8 inches in height, the BC218RU5 is a compact unit that installs flush into a mortise or surface-mounted position depending on the door prep. The antique brass finish provides a warm, traditional aesthetic consistent with period and transitional hardware styles. Installation is typically handled by a finish carpenter, millwork installer, or general contractor.

The BC218RU5 is suited for residential and light commercial interior applications where a quiet, hardware-clean door closure is preferred. Typical installations include interior passage doors, wardrobe doors, cabinet doors, and furniture panels where a full latch set is unnecessary or undesirable. The round-corner profile eases installation and reduces the need for sharp corner chiseling during mortise prep, which can streamline the fitting process on job sites.

Installation Notes

A finish carpenter or millwork installer typically fits ball catches during door hardware installation. Power down any motorized or automated door systems before beginning work. Mortise depth and strike placement are critical for proper ball engagement — verify door and frame alignment before chiseling the mortise pocket. Follow applicable local building codes for interior hardware installation.
