Ives 349B26D Solid Brass Ball Catch Satin Chrome

Product Description

The IVES 349B26D is a solid brass ball catch with a round corner design, finished in satin chrome (26D). Ball catches are spring-loaded latching devices installed in door edges or cabinet frames to hold a door closed without a traditional latch bolt. This unit is constructed from solid brass, providing corrosion resistance and long service life in both interior door and finish carpentry applications. At 3 inches in length and 0.15 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component suited for standard door and cabinetry installations. Licensed contractors and finish carpenters are the typical installers for this type of hardware.

The 349B26D is intended for interior door and cabinet applications where a low-profile latching solution is required. Round corner ball catches are common in residential and light commercial millwork, including passage doors, cabinet doors, and built-in furniture where a traditional lockset is not needed. The satin chrome finish coordinates with standard architectural hardware in 26D finish families. Sold individually, this catch is appropriate for new construction and renovation work alike.

Ensure the door and frame are properly aligned before marking the strike location. Power down any associated electric hardware on the door assembly before beginning work. Follow applicable local building codes for hardware installation in commercial occupancies.
