Deltana BC218U26D Ball Catch Satin Chrome

Product Description

The DELTANA BC218U26D is a ball catch designed for use in door and frame assemblies where a low-profile latching mechanism is required. The unit holds a door in the closed position using spring-loaded ball tension, eliminating the need for a traditional turn knob or lever latch. Finished in satin chrome, it suits applications where a clean, brushed metal appearance is specified. The BC218U26D measures 3.4 inches in length, 2.2 inches in width, and 1.8 inches in height, making it compact enough for most residential and light commercial door applications. It ships as a single unit.

This ball catch is suited for interior door installations in residential and light commercial settings. Typical applications include cabinet doors, passage doors, and closet doors where a positive but unobtrusive hold is needed. It is commonly installed by carpenters, finish contractors, and facilities maintenance technicians. The satin chrome finish coordinates with standard brushed metal hardware found in contemporary and transitional interior designs.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters or finish hardware contractors using standard hand tools.

Follow all applicable local building codes for hardware installation on fire-rated or accessibility-compliant doors.
