Description
The DELTANA BC218RU10B is a round-corner ball catch finished in oil rubbed bronze, designed for residential and light commercial door hardware applications. A ball catch is a spring-loaded latching mechanism installed in a door edge or cabinet door to hold the door closed without a full latch set. This unit measures 2.1 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.8 inches in height, making it suited for standard door and millwork applications. At 0.15 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Finish is oil rubbed bronze, consistent with period and transitional architectural styles. Licensed contractors and finish carpenters are the primary installers.
The BC218RU10B is appropriate for interior door applications in residential construction, remodel work, and light commercial buildouts. It is typically used on passage doors, cabinet doors, or closet doors where a positive but non-locking hold is required. The oil rubbed bronze finish coordinates with matching DELTANA hinges, strikes, and other architectural hardware in the same finish family. It is sold and installed as a single unit per package.

Installation Notes

Ensure the strike plate alignment is verified before fastening to allow smooth ball engagement. Follow local building codes for door hardware requirements where applicable.
