Emtek 8801US19 Roller Catch Flat Black

Product Description

The EMTEK 8801US19 is a roller catch finished in flat black, designed to hold interior doors closed without a latching mechanism. The unit mounts to the door frame and uses a spring-loaded roller to engage a strike, keeping the door in a closed position until manually pushed open. At 3.4 inches in length and 1.7 inches in width, it fits standard residential and light commercial door applications. Licensed carpenters, finish contractors, and door hardware installers typically handle the install. The flat black finish delivers a clean, consistent appearance on painted or dark-toned door frames.

Roller catches are used in applications where a full latch or lockset is not required, such as interior passage doors, cabinet doors, closet doors, and lightweight interior panels. This unit is sold individually and is suited for residential new construction, renovation, and light commercial finish work where a low-profile, unobtrusive door retention solution is needed.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation roller catch for standard residential and light commercial interior doors where a spring-loaded roller retention mechanism is appropriate.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter or door hardware installer using a drill, screwdriver, and standard hole template. Ensure the door is plumb and properly hung before mounting the catch body and strike plate. Align the roller and strike carefully to avoid misalignment that can cause binding or inadequate retention force. No special certifications or permits are typically required for interior roller catch installation.
