Sugatsune BCT-70 Tension Catch Zinc Alloy Chrome Plated

Product Description

The SUGATSUNE BCT-70 is a zinc alloy tension catch designed for cabinet doors, access panels, and light-duty enclosure applications. It operates on a pull-open action, holding a door or panel closed under spring tension until sufficient pull force is applied. The BCT-70 measures 2.75 inches long, 0.51 inches wide, and 0.91 inches high and ships with a matching strike that measures 1.66 inches long by 0.41 inches wide. A chrome-plated finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. Pull force is rated at 3.3 newtons (0.74 pounds) and push force at 4.3 newtons (0.97 pounds). Installers in millwork, cabinetry, and light construction trades are the primary users of this hardware.

The BCT-70 is suited for residential and light commercial cabinetry, equipment enclosures, access doors, and control panel covers where a low-profile, surface-mounted tension catch is required. Its compact footprint makes it a practical choice in tight door-edge applications where larger lever or roller catches would not fit. The pull-action operation is common in frameless and overlay door configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by finish carpenters, millworkers, or cabinet installers using standard hand tools.

Confirm door alignment before final screw tightening to ensure consistent pull and push force engagement. No special tools or trade licensing are required for installation of this hardware.
