Deltana BC218U26 Ball Catch Bright Chrome

Product Description

The DELTANA BC218U26 is a ball catch designed for use in door and cabinet hardware applications. The unit features a spring-loaded ball mechanism that holds a door or panel in position without a full latch, providing a clean, low-profile closure point. At 2.1 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.8 inches in height, it fits into tight door edge applications. The Bright Chrome finish provides a polished, corrosion-resistant surface suited to interior environments. Weighing 0.18 pounds, the catch is compact and straightforward to install. Carpenters, finish contractors, and door hardware installers are the typical trades handling this type of hardware.

Ball catches are used in residential and light commercial settings where a positive but non-latching closure is needed. Common applications include cabinet doors, passage doors, closet doors, and interior panel assemblies where a full mortise latch is not required. The BC218U26 is sold individually and is appropriate for new construction and remodel work alike. Its compact footprint makes it compatible with standard door edge preparations without extensive modification.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter or door hardware installer using a drill and chisel for mortising the door edge. Ensure the door panel is fully unpowered or free of any electronic hardware before working on the edge. Align the strike plate accurately with the ball position to ensure consistent engagement. Follow applicable local building codes for door hardware in commercial settings.
