Deltana BTC30U3 Ball Tension Catch 3 in X 3/4 in Bright Brass

Product Description

The DELTANA BTC30U3 is a ball tension catch designed for door and cabinet hardware applications where a light, consistent latching force is needed without a traditional strike plate or roller mechanism. The catch measures 3 inches in length and 0.75 inches in height, finished in Bright Brass for a clean, polished appearance that suits both residential and light commercial millwork. Weighing 0.3 pounds, it is compact and straightforward to mount. Licensed tradespeople and finish carpenters install this type of hardware as part of door, cabinetry, or casework assemblies where a low-profile, spring-loaded ball mechanism is the preferred closure method.

Ball tension catches like the BTC30U3 are commonly used on interior doors, cabinet doors, and furniture panels in residential and light commercial settings. The spring-loaded ball engages a strike or receiving surface to hold a door or panel closed without a keyed or lever-operated latch. This makes the catch well-suited for applications where a touch-release or push-open action is desired, such as built-in cabinetry, passage doors, or display case enclosures. The Bright Brass finish coordinates with matching architectural hardware in traditional and transitional interior designs.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter, cabinetmaker, or general contractor. Ensure the door or panel is plumb and the mounting surface is solid before fastening. Use appropriately sized screws for the substrate material and pre-drill pilot holes to avoid splitting wood or composite panels. Follow the hardware manufacturer's mounting hole layout for proper ball engagement with the strike surface.
