Ives 2A3 Elbow Cabinet Latch Bright Brass

Product Description

The IVES 2A3 is an elbow-style cabinet latch finished in bright brass, designed for light-duty door and cabinet applications in commercial and residential construction. The elbow latch mechanism provides a simple, tool-free latching action suited for cabinet doors, access panels, and enclosure covers. At 2 inches long and 1 inch wide, the compact profile fits standard cabinet door stiles without interfering with adjacent hardware. The unit ships as a single piece and weighs 0.05 pounds, making it easy to handle during high-volume installs. Licensed contractors and finish carpenters typically specify this latch where a low-profile, reliable catch is required.

This latch is well suited for interior cabinet doors, utility enclosures, access hatches, and light-duty commercial millwork. Its bright brass finish coordinates with standard architectural hardware in office, institutional, and residential settings. The compact footprint allows installation on narrow stiles and thin door panels where larger latching hardware would not fit. Electricians and facilities technicians commonly use similar latches on electrical enclosure covers and access panels requiring a secure but easily operated closure.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, finish contractors, or facilities maintenance personnel. Power down any electrical enclosure before working on panels secured by this latch. Use appropriate fasteners for the substrate material — wood, metal, or composite — and confirm the door stile thickness supports the mounting footprint before fastening. Follow applicable local building codes for hardware on fire-rated or specialty enclosures.
