Deltana BC218U19 Ball Catch Black Finish

Product Description

The DELTANA BC218U19 is a ball catch designed for door and cabinet applications where a clean, low-profile latching solution is required. The unit holds a door or panel in the closed position using spring-loaded ball tension, eliminating the need for a traditional turn latch or strike plate assembly. Finished in black, it suits installations where dark hardware finishes are specified. At 2.1 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.8 inches in height, the BC218U19 is compact enough for lightweight interior doors, cabinet doors, and closet applications. Installation is typically handled by carpenters, millwork contractors, or general contractors working on finish hardware.

The BC218U19 is suited for residential and light commercial interior door applications. It works in scenarios where a positive but easily released door hold is needed without the bulk or visibility of a surface-mounted latch. Typical uses include closet doors, passage doors, cabinet faces, and lightweight panel systems where a strike or roller latch would be over-engineered for the load. The black finish coordinates with dark or matte hardware sets commonly specified in contemporary and transitional interior design schemes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters or finish hardware contractors using standard hand tools. Ensure the door or panel is properly aligned before marking and boring the catch pocket to avoid misalignment with the strike. No power should be applied to adjacent electric hardware or access control devices during installation if the door is part of an electrified system. Follow applicable local building codes for hardware placement on fire-rated door assemblies.
