Ives 347B10B Dual Adjustable Ball Catch Oil Rubbed Bronze

Product Description

The IVES 347B10B is a dual adjustable ball catch made from solid brass and finished in oil rubbed bronze. Ball catches are used to hold doors in the open or closed position without a latch bolt, relying on spring-loaded balls that engage a strike. The dual adjustable design allows the installer to tune the holding tension on each ball independently, accommodating doors with varying alignment or tension requirements. At 0.1 pounds, it is a lightweight component suited for interior door applications where a traditional latch is not required. Installation is handled by carpenters, finish hardware installers, or experienced DIYers.

This ball catch is appropriate for residential and light commercial interior doors, cabinet doors, and passage doors where a positive but releasable hold is needed. The oil rubbed bronze finish coordinates with matching door hardware in the same architectural finish family. Typical applications include closet doors, room dividers, and interior passage doors that do not require a keyed or privacy latch.

Installation Notes

Ball catches are typically installed by carpenters or finish hardware professionals during door hardware rough-in or finish stages. Ensure the door is properly hung and aligned before setting final ball tension. Mortise or surface-mount the catch body per the door manufacturer's frame preparation, and adjust each ball tension screw after the door is hung to achieve the desired holding force. No special tools beyond a screwdriver are typically required.
