Elbow Catches 1-3/8" x 5/8", Bright Nickel

Elbow Catches 1-3/8" x 5/8" Bright Nickel Use

Elbow Catches 1-3/8" x 5/8" Bright Nickel from HB Ives provide a compact latch solution where a catch and strike are needed to hold doors or panels closed, so you get positive retention in a small footprint for cabinets or similar applications. The catch size of 1-3/8" x 5/8" defines the body footprint, helping you plan layouts where space around the door edge is limited. The strike size of 13/16" x 5/8" keeps the mating part small, which supports clean installations on narrow frames or stile faces. The bright nickel finish gives the catch and strike a uniform appearance that suits projects calling for nickel-plated hardware. As a product in the Locks and Latches category under Catches, it fills the role of a dedicated mechanical holding point in your hardware layout.

Heavy Duty Catch Details That Support Workflows

• The elbow catch is described as heavy duty, which signals that it is designed for demanding catch applications where frequent opening and closing place repeated load on the latch points over time.
• The bright nickel plated finish provides a consistent surface treatment across the catch and strike, which helps maintain a coordinated hardware look wherever nickel finishes are specified in a project.
• The defined catch size of 1-3/8" x 5/8" lets you plan edge and frame clearances accurately, supporting repeatable boring and mounting layouts across multiple cabinet or casework units.
• The strike size of 13/16" x 5/8" keeps the receiving component compact, which helps when working with narrow face frames, thin rails, or tight reveals around doors.
• Conformance to design requirements of ANSI/BHMA A156.9 ties the catch performance to a recognized standard, which supports hardware selections where standardized commercial-grade criteria are important.

Elbow Catch Sizing And Layout For Installation

The HB Ives elbow catch body measures 1-3/8" x 5/8", giving you a defined rectangular area to work with on door edges or cabinet frames, which helps in planning drilling, pilot locations, and clearances against adjacent components. The strike size of 13/16" x 5/8" provides a smaller mating footprint, useful when space on the jamb or frame is limited by reveals, glass stops, or profile details. Because the catch functions as part of the Locks and Latches class under Catches, it is intended to serve as the mechanical hold point, so installers can design hinge and catch positions together for consistent closing action. The bright nickel finish supports installations where matching nickel-plated hardware is already specified across hinges, pulls, or other visible fittings.

Using This HB Ives Elbow Catch In Projects

Where This Heavy Duty Elbow Catch Fits Best

This HB Ives elbow catch is classified under Locks and Latches in the Catches product class, so it is suited to applications where a dedicated catch and strike pair must hold a door, panel, or cabinet front closed without relying on a lock cylinder. The catch size of 1-3/8" x 5/8" allows use on many cabinet doors, wardrobe doors, or similar casework where a compact latch body is preferred over bulkier latch options, giving flexibility to position it near corners or along rails. The 13/16" x 5/8" strike size supports fitting on slim face frames or narrow cabinet sides, which is helpful when stile widths are tight or when interior clearances limit hardware footprint.

The bright nickel description means the visible metal surfaces present a nickel-plated appearance, aligning with other nickel hardware choices across a room or project so the catch does not visually stand out. Because the part is described as heavy duty, it is oriented toward situations where the catch and strike will experience regular use, making it an option for frequently accessed doors in residential or commercial millwork. The fact that the catch and strike are sold together under the web description keeps the matched components paired by design, which simplifies selecting a correctly matched latch interface for consistent closure on each opening.

Why These Catch Details Matter For Repeatable Results

The defined catch size of 1-3/8" x 5/8" and strike size of 13/16" x 5/8" let you standardize layouts across multiple cabinets, because each opening can be bored and marked to the same dimensions, reducing layout variation from one unit to the next. This consistency supports shop templates and jigs when building runs of casework, helping maintain uniform reveal lines and closing feel. The bright nickel finish on the elbow catch supports a unified finish schedule, allowing hardware schedules to call out bright nickel across hinges, pulls, and this catch, simplifying specification on drawings and cut sheets.

Conformance to design requirements of ANSI/BHMA A156.9 means the elbow catch follows a published hardware standard, so its design characteristics align with the expectations of that standard for cabinet hardware, which supports its use in commercial or institutional woodworking where reference to ANSI/BHMA categories is common. Being identified as heavy duty further positions it for installations where daily operation is expected, giving specifiers a way to distinguish it from lighter-duty catch options. Sold in both broken and full box quantities with discount available for full box orders, the product supports both small one-off cabinet jobs and larger runs, while volume pricing for full boxes helps production shops control hardware costs across repeated openings.
