Ives 345B10B Adjustable Ball Catch Oil Rubbed Bronze

Product Description

The IVES 345B10B is a solid brass adjustable ball catch finished in oil rubbed bronze, designed for interior door applications where a positive but releasable latching action is required without a traditional keyed or lever lockset. The ball catch mechanism allows field adjustment of the tension, giving installers control over how firmly the door holds in the closed position. Measuring 2.5 inches in length, 1.5 inches in width, and 1 inch in height, this compact hardware piece is well suited to cabinet doors, passage doors, and light commercial interior doors. It is typically installed by carpenters, finish contractors, and general tradespeople during door hardware trim-out.

The 345B10B fits standard residential and light commercial interior door applications where a low-profile latching solution is preferred. The oil rubbed bronze finish coordinates with matching IVES door hardware accessories, making it a practical choice on projects that specify a consistent architectural finish across hinges, pulls, and protective plates. It is sold individually and is also available in case quantities of 10 units for multi-door or contractor-scale work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters or finish hardware contractors during the door trim-out phase of construction or renovation. Mortise or surface-mount preparation should be completed before fitting; verify door edge and jamb alignment before final fastening. No power tools are required beyond a standard drill and appropriate bit for pilot holes. Confirm finish compatibility with other specified door hardware before installation to ensure a consistent appearance.
