Ball catches work by spring tension: a spring-loaded ball seats into a strike or receiver, providing controlled resistance that keeps the door in place. This hardware is commonly installed in interior residential and light commercial doors where a traditional latch is not required. The solid brass construction and bright chrome finish make it suitable for exposed architectural applications where appearance matters alongside function. Licensed contractors and finish carpenters install this type of hardware as part of a complete door package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 345B26 is suited for interior door applications including passage doors, cabinet doors, and closet doors where a positive but non-latching hold is needed. The adjustable design allows the installer to dial in the holding tension to match door weight and usage frequency. At 2 inches in length and 1.5 inches in width, this is a compact unit that fits standard door edge preparations without significant modification. It is sold individually and is also available by the case of 10 units for project or contractor quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid brass base material for corrosion resistance and long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright chrome finish coordinates with standard architectural hardware sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable spring tension allows field tuning of holding force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact profile at 2 inches long by 1.5 inches wide by 0.75 inches tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually or in case quantities of 10 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball catch for standard interior door applications requiring a non-latching hold mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBall catches are typically installed by finish carpenters or general contractors as part of door hardware rough-in or finish work.
