Ives 347B26D Dual Adjustable Ball Catch Satin Chrome

Product Description

The IVES 347B26D is a dual adjustable ball catch finished in satin chrome, constructed from solid brass for lasting corrosion resistance. Ball catches are passive latching hardware installed in door edges or cabinet frames to hold a door closed without a keyed or lever-operated latch. The dual-adjustable design allows the installer to tune the holding tension on both balls independently, accommodating variations in door weight and frame alignment. At 2.25 inches long and 1.15 inches in height, this compact unit fits standard door edge prep locations. It is installed by finish carpenters, millwork contractors, and commercial door hardware technicians in both new construction and retrofit applications.

The 347B26D is suited for interior doors in residential and light commercial settings where a clean, low-profile latching solution is required. Typical applications include passage doors, cabinet doors, and closet doors where a traditional lockset or roller latch is not desired. The satin chrome finish coordinates with other 26D-finish door hardware on the same opening. Sold individually, it can also be sourced in case quantities of 10 for multi-unit or multi-door projects.

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball catch for standard interior door edge and cabinet frame applications requiring a 26D satin chrome finish hardware match.

Installation Notes

Ball catches are typically installed by finish carpenters or door hardware technicians using a drill, chisel, and screwdriver. Mortise the catch body flush with the door edge or frame face before fastening to prevent binding. Verify door and frame alignment before setting ball tension, and adjust each ball independently after the door is hung to achieve consistent, smooth engagement. No electrical isolation or system shutdown is required for this hardware.
