The ball catch uses spring tension to hold a door in the closed position without a keyed or lever-operated latch mechanism. The antique brass finish coordinates with period-style and transitional architectural hardware. At 0.06 pounds and compact in size, the unit installs quickly into the door edge and strike location. Carpenters, finish trim contractors, and facility maintenance technicians are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 345B5 is suited for residential and light commercial interior doors, cabinet doors, and passage doors where a full latch set is not required or desired. The adjustable tension feature allows the technician to dial in the holding force to match door weight and frequency of use. The antique brass finish is consistent with IVES architectural hardware finishes for coordinated door hardware scheduling across a project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid brass construction for corrosion resistance and long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable spring tension to control holding force at the door\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAntique brass finish coordinates with period and transitional architectural hardware lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact footprint at 2.5 inches long by 1.5 inches wide by 1 inch tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually, available in case quantities of 10\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 interior passage doors and cabinet doors requiring a non-locking, spring-tensioned hold-closed mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a carpenter or finish hardware installer. The door and frame must be properly aligned before the catch and strike are mortised or surface-mounted to ensure consistent contact. No power tools are required beyond a drill and appropriate bit for the catch bore.
