Ball catch #1 size brass from the Pro Value Series provides a compact way to hold doors or panels closed using a catch and strike assembly, which matters when you want a simple latch without a visible knob-style mechanism. The catch measures 1-11/16 inches long, so it fits small cabinet or closet doors where space and edge distance are limited. A bright brass finish on both the solid brass catch and strike creates a consistent look on projects that use brass hardware, keeping hardware details visually unified across a run of doors. Solid brass construction for the catch and strike provides a metal body rather than a composite piece, which matters when fastening into wood and aiming for repeatable performance over many open-and-close cycles. As part of the Locks and Latches category under catches, this unit fills the role of a spring-tension door catch instead of a keyed or latchbolt lock.
The adjustable tension feature uses screws on the top and bottom of the ball catch body, giving a predictable way to raise or lower the ball pressure so doors do not feel too loose or too tight in service. This screw-based adjustment allows installers to compensate when a door edge or frame is slightly out of alignment, supporting smoother closing while still holding the door shut. Because the strike may enter from either side or from the front, the same catch can be oriented to suit left-hand or right-hand situations, which simplifies layout on runs of doors with different swings. The catch functions as a non-keyed latch within the Locks and Latches family of catches, so it serves projects where a hold-closed function is needed without a locking mechanism.
The solid brass catch and strike in a bright brass finish suit cabinet or closet work where visible brass hardware is part of the design, because both mating pieces present the same finish at the meeting edges. The 1-11/16 inch long catch body is sized for typical cabinet door thicknesses, allowing it to sit in a narrow stile while still providing enough length for mounting and tension adjustment. As a ball catch in the Locks and Latches category, it fits applications that call for doors to pull open without a traditional latch tongue, which is useful on utility doors, double cabinet doors, or tall pantry fronts that rely on pull hardware only. The Pro Value Series branding signals that this pattern is part of a consistent product family, so shops can standardize on the same style across different jobs.
The adjustable tension ball catch design uses top and bottom screws to alter how far the internal ball protrudes, which directly changes the effort needed to open the door and helps reduce callbacks due to doors drifting open. When a door is slightly out of square with the frame, this adjustment range gives installers a way to balance feel and holding power without changing the door edge. The fact that the strike may enter from either side or from the front of the catch adds more freedom in positioning; the same part can serve varied jamb details or overlapping door conditions. As a bright brass cabinet catch, this flexibility lets a shop order one 511-1-PB configuration and use it in multiple orientations while keeping finish and function identical across the installation. Over time, the solid brass catch and strike maintain their mating geometry as metal parts, which supports consistent engagement every time the door is closed.
The 511-1-PB is a ball catch from the Pro Value Series, so it uses a spring-loaded ball and matching strike to hold doors closed instead of a keyed or tongue-style latch.
This solid brass ball catch has a 1-11/16 inch long body, which suits typical cabinet or closet door edges where a compact catch is required for mounting.
This adjustable tension ball catch uses screws on the top and bottom of the body so the installer can raise or lower ball pressure to match the desired door feel.
The strike may enter from either side or from the front of the catch, allowing different mounting orientations to suit left-hand, right-hand, or centered door conditions.
The catch and strike are solid brass with a bright brass finish, providing a matched metal pair that aligns with other brass hardware in the same project.

Choose this bright brass cabinet catch when a non-keyed, adjustable ball catch fits the job requirements.
