Ives 347B3 Dual Adjustable Ball Catch Bright Brass

Product Description

The IVES 347B3 is a dual adjustable ball catch made from solid brass and finished in bright brass. Ball catches are installed in the edge of a door to hold it in the open or closed position without a latch mechanism. The dual adjustable design allows the installer to tune the tension on each ball independently, providing precise resistance to meet the requirements of the door application. At 2.25 inches in length and 0.5 inches in height, this is a compact hardware component suited for residential and light commercial interior doors. Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter, general contractor, or experienced DIYer.

The 347B3 is appropriate for interior door applications where a traditional latch is not required or desired. Common installations include cabinet doors, passage doors, closet doors, and doors that need to stay in a resting position without a full lockset. The bright brass finish coordinates with other architectural hardware in matching finishes across the IVES product line. This unit is sold individually.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a finish carpenter or general contractor using standard woodworking tools. Power down any electronic door hardware and ensure the door is stationary before beginning work. The catch body is mortised or surface-mounted into the door edge; verify the strike placement on the door frame aligns with the ball positions before fastening. Adjust each ball tension independently after installation to achieve the desired hold force.
