Ives 347B15 Dual Adjustable Ball Catch Satin Nickel

Product Description

The IVES 347B15 is a dual adjustable ball catch made from solid brass and finished in satin nickel. Ball catches are used to hold doors in an open or closed position without a traditional latch mechanism. This unit features two independently adjustable tension balls, allowing the installer to fine-tune holding force to match door weight and traffic conditions. At 2.25 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 0.4 inches in height, it fits standard door edge preparations. It is a compact, hardware-quality component suited for interior doors in both residential and light commercial construction.

The 347B15 is installed in the edge of a door to engage a matching strike mounted on the door frame or jamb. It is appropriate for interior passage doors, cabinet doors, and light-duty applications where a positive but releasable hold is needed. The dual adjustable design makes it adaptable to varying door weights and closure pressures without requiring replacement of the unit. It is sold individually and is commonly installed during new construction or door hardware upgrades.

Installation Notes

Ball catches are typically installed by carpenters or general contractors during door hardware rough-in or finish work. Drill the door edge mortise to the specified depth before inserting the catch body to avoid splitting the door stile. Align the strike plate on the jamb carefully before fastening to ensure consistent ball engagement. Adjust each ball tension screw independently after installation to achieve the desired holding force.
