Deltana BC218U14 Ball Catch Bright Nickel

Product Description

The DELTANA BC218U14 is a ball catch designed for residential and light commercial door hardware applications. A ball catch is a spring-loaded latching mechanism installed in a door edge that engages a strike plate to hold a door closed without a traditional latch bolt. This unit ships in a bright nickel finish, measuring 2.1 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.8 inches in height. It weighs 0.18 pounds. Licensed door hardware installers and carpenters typically specify this hardware on interior passage doors, cabinet doors, and closet applications where a low-profile hold is preferred over a lever latch or magnetic catch.

The BC218U14 is suited for interior door installations in residential construction and light commercial buildouts. Its compact profile makes it a common choice for closet doors, pocket doors, and interior passage doors where a clean, minimal hardware appearance is desired. The bright nickel finish provides a consistent look alongside other nickel-finished door hardware. It is sold individually and is also available in case quantities of 200 units for volume projects.

Installation Notes

Ball catches are typically installed by carpenters or door hardware technicians using a drill, chisel, and screwdriver. The door edge must be mortised or bored to the correct depth before mounting to ensure proper spring engagement with the strike plate. Verify door thickness and jamb clearance before installation. Always confirm the strike plate is aligned precisely with the ball plunger to ensure consistent engagement and door retention.
