Ives CL21A26D 4-way Ball Catch Cabinet Latch Satin Chrome

Product Description

The IVES CL21A26D is a 4-way ball catch cabinet latch finished in satin chrome. It is designed to hold cabinet doors, light passage doors, and similar applications closed without a turn knob or lever — the ball detent engages the strike on contact and releases with light pressure. At 3 inches long and 0.75 inches in both width and height, it installs in tight clearances where conventional latches will not fit. Weighing 0.2 pounds, it is a compact, low-profile hardware component suitable for millwork, cabinetry, and interior door applications. Installation is straightforward and is typically handled by carpenters, finish trades, or general contractors.

The CL21A26D suits residential and light commercial cabinetry, built-ins, and interior passage doors where a positive but tool-free latching action is required. The 4-way catch allows the ball to engage from multiple directions, making it useful in applications where door alignment may vary slightly or where a consistent catch is needed regardless of minor door movement. The satin chrome finish coordinates with standard architectural hardware in commercial and residential settings.

Installation Notes
