EC Series Elbow Catch is a satin chrome cabinet catch designed to secure one door to the cabinet in double door applications, so a pair of doors can share one lock while the second door stays positively held shut. This Olympus Lock, Inc. catch works by allowing the door to lock shut when pushed, giving a clean push-to-close action that suits repetitive use on cabinet jobs. The catch then requires releasing the hook to open the door, so the door stays engaged until the user deliberately disengages it. Because the catch can be used on left-hand or right-hand cabinet doors, one part number covers both swing directions and simplifies planning for multi-door layouts. As part of the EC Series, this elbow catch fills the role of a compact mechanical hold for cabinet doors where a dependable door-secure point is needed.
This EC Series Elbow Catch allows the cabinet door to lock shut when pushed, which means the installer positions the strike and catch so that a simple push closes the door into engagement. Once engaged, the catch requires releasing the hook to open the door, so the user performs a deliberate motion to disengage the elbow catch before swinging the door. Because it is used to secure one door to the cabinet in double door applications, the installer assigns this catch to the secondary door while the primary door handles the main lock or primary latching device. The ability to use it on left-hand or right-hand cabinet doors allows consistent mounting practice across different hinge orientations on the same project.
The EC Series Elbow Catch is used to secure one door to the cabinet in double door applications, so it fits situations where one leaf of a paired cabinet needs a positive hold while the other leaf carries the main lock or latch. The satin chrome finish suits cabinet hardware layouts that call for a satin chrome appearance, helping hardware components visually coordinate within a project. Because the catch can be used on left-hand or right-hand cabinet doors, it suits cabinet runs where door swing varies, letting the same catch plan serve both sides of an opening. As a catch and strike packaged individually with three screws, it functions as a matched catch point that can be positioned wherever a secondary door needs to be held shut against the cabinet frame. Being sold by the each, it also fits replacement scenarios where a single worn catch is being swapped out part-for-part on an existing cabinet.
The way this elbow catch allows the door to lock shut when pushed supports a repeatable close action because every push drives the same elbow-and-hook engagement between catch and strike. Since it requires releasing the hook to open the door, the opening action stays consistent from cabinet to cabinet, giving users a familiar release feel across a bank of double doors. The ability to be used on left-hand or right-hand cabinet doors simplifies layout repeatability, because installers can mirror catch placements without changing part numbers or operating logic. The product meets ANSI/BHMA A156.9 B33023, which identifies it as a cabinet hardware component evaluated under a recognized standard, supporting consistent expectations for how it performs in normal woodwork environments. As a Woodwork Institute (WI) acknowledged product, it aligns with hardware that is recognized within WI-related woodwork practices, which helps standardize component choices across specified cabinet jobs.
