Deltana BC218U3 Ball Catch Bright Brass

Product Description

The DELTANA BC218U3 is a ball catch designed for use in door and cabinet hardware applications. It provides a spring-loaded ball mechanism that engages a strike to hold a door or panel in the closed position without a traditional latching mechanism. The BC218U3 comes in a Bright Brass finish and measures 2.5 inches in length by 2.5 inches in width by 1 inch in height. At 0.18 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component suited for interior finish carpentry and millwork installations.

Ball catches are commonly installed in residential and light commercial settings on interior passage doors, cabinet doors, and bi-fold panels where a positive but easily released hold is needed. The Bright Brass finish coordinates with matching door hardware sets and is well suited for traditional and transitional interior design schemes. Installers typically select this catch for applications where a knob, lever, or other active latch hardware is not required or desired.

Installation Notes

Ball catches are typically installed by carpenters, finish millwork contractors, or general contractors during interior door and cabinet hardware rough-in or finish stages. Ensure the door or panel is properly aligned and plumb before marking the strike location. A drill and appropriately sized bit are required to mortise or bore the catch body into the door edge or face. Verify the spring tension and ball engagement with the strike plate before completing final installation.
