Emtek 8802US26 Ball Catch Polished Chrome

Product Description

The EMTEK 8802US26 is a ball catch finished in polished chrome, designed for interior door installations where a traditional latch is not required. Ball catches hold a door closed through spring-loaded ball tension against a strike plate, making them a common choice for passage doors, cabinet doors, and closets where privacy hardware is unnecessary. At 0.18 pounds, this is a lightweight hardware component suited for light-duty residential interior applications. Licensed contractors and finish carpenters install this type of hardware during door hardware rough-in or finish-out phases.

This ball catch is appropriate for residential interior door installations. Typical use cases include hallway passage doors, pantry doors, and interior closet doors where a full latch mechanism is not needed. The polished chrome finish coordinates with other US26 finish hardware throughout a space. Each unit is sold individually.

Installation Notes

Ball catches are typically installed by finish carpenters or general contractors during the door hardware finish-out phase. Before installation, confirm the door edge and jamb are properly mortised or bored to accept the catch body and strike plate. No power tools are required beyond a chisel and screwdriver for most standard installations. Follow local building codes for any applicable interior door hardware requirements.
