1012 tension ball catch is an EPCO catch designed to hold doors or panels closed using an adjustable spring-loaded ball in a compact housing. The adjustable tension ball catch uses turn screws to change how firmly the ball holds, so the installer can match door feel to the application. This catch is part of the EPCO 1012 series, giving a consistent reference for selecting matching parts across a project. The solid brass case supports the ball mechanism in a rigid body, which helps the catch stay aligned in normal cabinet use. A dull brass finish on the case presents a subdued brass appearance, which fits projects calling for a brass tone without a bright reflective look. The catch length of 1.92 inches keeps the unit short, so it fits small framing members or narrow door rails where space is limited.
The adjustable tension ball catch uses turn screws built into the catch body to set the ball tension, so the installer can change holding force without relocating the catch. Turning the screws changes spring compression on the ball, which adjusts how firmly it engages the mating surface when the door closes. The 1.92 inch length defines the housing footprint in the edge of a door or frame, guiding how deep the mortise or recess needs to be. The solid brass case provides a uniform material around the mechanism, which supports precise seating in a machined pocket or routed cavity. The dull brass finish remains consistent across the visible case edges, so exposed portions at the door edge maintain a uniform appearance after installation.
The EPCO 1012 tension ball catch is a catch from the locks and latches class, suited to applications where a ball mechanism holds a door or panel closed without a keyed lock. Its 1.92 inch long body lets it fit along door or panel edges where only a short catch can be recessed. The solid brass case supports the ball catch mechanism in a tight envelope, which suits cabinet and woodworking projects that rely on precise mortising. As a dull brass catch, it aligns visually with other dull brass components in a run of cabinets, helping maintain a consistent hardware look on projects that specify this finish. The 1012-DB part designation clearly identifies this dull brass version by manufacturer number, which supports repeat use across jobs that follow the same hardware schedule.
The adjustable tension ball catch relies on turn screws to change how tightly the ball presses into its mating surface, giving the installer a direct way to dial in closing feel. On lighter doors, reducing tension lets the door close without excessive force, which keeps motion smooth for day-to-day use. On heavier doors, increasing tension helps hold the door in place, which supports consistent alignment when doors are subject to more weight. The solid brass case that houses the mechanism helps preserve the set tension by keeping the ball and spring in a stable pocket, which matters when doors are used frequently. Because the 1.92 inch case length stays constant, installers can repeat the same mortise dimensions across multiple doors, which saves layout time when many openings share the same EPCO 1012-DB catch.
The EPCO 1012 tension ball catch serves as a catch that holds doors or panels closed with a spring-loaded ball, providing closure without a keyed lock in cabinet and similar applications.
The 1012 tension ball catch uses turn screws on the body to adjust spring pressure on the ball, changing how firmly the ball holds so closing force can match the specific door.
The 1.92 inch length describes the catch body size, guiding how deep and long the recess in the door or frame needs to be so the case sits properly during installation.
The solid brass case encloses the ball and spring in a single metal housing, helping the mechanism stay aligned and supporting accurate seating in a machined pocket.
The manufacturer part number 1012-DB identifies this specific 1012 tension ball catch version with dull brass finish, helping match the correct catch when ordering.
The dull brass finish gives the case a subdued brass look rather than a bright shine, supporting projects that call for brass tone with a lower-reflectivity appearance.
The EPCO 1012 tension ball catch with dull brass finish combines an adjustable tension ball mechanism with a compact 1.92 inch solid brass case, giving installers control over door holding force in a small footprint. The turn screw adjustment lets a single catch type serve doors with different weights or clearances while keeping the same mortise pattern. The dull brass case finish coordinates with hardware that specifies a brass tone without a high-gloss look. For projects where an EPCO 1012-DB catch fits the specification, this adjustable tension ball catch provides a defined part number and consistent dimensions that support repeatable cabinet and door work.
