Pamex DD05300 Adjustable Ball Catch Drive-in Bright Chrome

Product Description

The PAMEX DD05300 is an adjustable ball catch in a drive-in style with a bright chrome finish, designed for door hardware applications in residential and commercial construction. The ball catch mechanism allows for tension adjustment to suit varying door and frame conditions, providing consistent latching without a keyed lock. At approximately 1.3 inches in length and 1 inch in both width and height, this compact hardware unit drives directly into the door edge, requiring no complex mortising. Door hardware installers and finish carpenters are the primary trade professionals who work with this component.

The DD05300 is suited for interior doors in both residential and light commercial settings where a latching mechanism is needed without a full lockset. Common applications include closet doors, cabinet-style enclosures, and passage doors where a simple, adjustable catch is preferred. The drive-in design speeds up installation and reduces the need for specialized tooling during finish hardware work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter or door hardware installer. Before installation, confirm the door edge and frame are properly aligned and that no power is connected to any electrically controlled door hardware in the opening. Use a drill and appropriate bit to prepare the drive-in bore hole to the correct diameter before pressing the catch into place. Follow local building codes and door hardware manufacturer guidelines for proper fitment and adjustment.
