Tension Catches, 1-11/16" L, Adjustable Tension, Bright Brass Finish

Ball Catch #1 Size Brass For Cabinet Doors

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.

Key Brass Ball Catch Details For Daily Use

• The solid brass catch and strike in a bright brass finish deliver a matched appearance on the door and frame, which helps projects maintain a unified hardware look where exposed brass parts are desired.
• The 1-11/16 inch length of the catch concentrates holding force in a small footprint, which matters on narrow stiles or face frames that cannot accept deeper latch bodies.
• Screw locations on the top and bottom of the ball catch provide adjustable tension, so installers can fine-tune how firmly the door is held closed to match door weight and user preference.
• The strike may enter from either side or the front of the catch body, giving layout flexibility when aligning the door edge to the jamb or cabinet frame in different build conditions.
• The Pro Value Series and part number 511-1-PB identify this unit within Wurth Baer Supply assortments, which aids reordering the same pattern when matching existing hardware across multiple openings.

Adjustable Tension And Strike Entry For Fitting

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.

Where This Pro Value Series Ball Catch Works

Bright Brass Catch And Strike In Cabinet Projects

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.

Adjustment And Strike Options For Consistent Results

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.
