Hinges and Hardware 101 - Tension Ball Catches
Are you needing a door to stay closed without a magnet or outside latch? Guden Tension Ball Catches are the answer you're looking for. Each catch is a two-piece design and the pin portion connects securely to the receptacle to keep the door closed. The catch is also designed with two adjustable balls that can increase or decrease the amount of force needed to close and retain the pin portion. Available in a chrome, nickel or brass plating, one is sure to match the design of your application. Click here for the available sizes.
