Ives 349B15 Ball Catch Round Corner Satin Nickel

Product Description

The IVES 349B15 is a solid brass round corner ball catch finished in satin nickel, designed to hold interior doors in the closed position without a latch bolt or separate strike. The ball catch mechanism uses spring tension to engage a strike plate, providing a clean, low-profile closure solution for cabinet doors, passage doors, and light interior applications. Its solid brass construction offers durability and corrosion resistance, while the satin nickel finish coordinates with standard architectural hardware. Licensed contractors and finish carpenters install this type of hardware during door hanging or cabinetry finish-out.

The 349B15 suits residential and light commercial interior door applications where a traditional latch is not required or desired. Typical installations include passage doors, wardrobe doors, and cabinet doors where a quiet, tool-free release is preferred. The round corner plate design simplifies mortise or surface installation on standard door edges. It is sold individually and is also available in case quantities of ten units.

Installation Notes

Ball catches of this type are typically installed by carpenters or finish hardware contractors during door trim-out. Mortise or surface mounting requires standard carpentry tools including a chisel and drill. Verify door edge thickness and strike plate alignment before fastening. No electrical shutoff or special trade licensing is required for hardware installation of this type, though local building codes may apply in commercial settings.
