Door catches are devices used to hold doors in a specific position, preventing them from swinging or closing on their own. They are commonly used in various applications, including homes, offices, furniture, cabinets, and automobiles. Door catches are designed to provide convenience, safety, and control over door movements.

### **What are the benefits of door catches?**

Door catches offer several benefits depending on the specific type and application. Here are some common advantages of using door catches:

- **Secure Door Closure:** Door catches ensure that doors remain securely closed when not in use.
- **Convenience and Ease of Use:** Door catches, such as magnetic catches or push latches, offer convenience by allowing for effortless door operation.
- **Space Saving:** Certain door catches, like roller catches or ball catches, are designed to be compact and unobtrusive.
- **Versatility:** Door catches come in various types, sizes, and designs, offering versatility in their applications. They can be used for interior doors, cabinets, furniture, and even in automotive applications.
- **Durability:** Many door catches are made from sturdy materials like metal or durable plastics, ensuring their longevity and reliability.
- **Safety:** Door catches can enhance safety by preventing doors from slamming shut, reducing the risk of accidental injuries or damage.

### **What types of door catches are there?**

There are several types of door catches available, each serving a specific purpose. Here are some common types:

- **Ball Catch:** A ball catch is a type of door catch that uses a spring-loaded ball and a strike plate to hold a door in place. The ball catch mechanism consists of a housing with a recessed socket and a spring-loaded ball. When the door is closed, the ball is pushed into the socket on the strike plate, creating a secure hold.
- **Grabber Catch:** This refers to a type of latch or catches that grabs onto the door or frame to hold it in place
- **Push Latch:** A push latch, also known as a push-to-open catch or touch latch, is a type of door catch that allows you to open a door simply by applying pressure. It is commonly used in cabinet doors and drawers.
- **Roller Catch**: A roller catch is a type of door catch that uses a spring-loaded roller and a strike plate. The roller catch mechanism consists of a housing with a roller and a spring.
- **Magnetic Catches:** These catches use magnets to hold the door in place. They consist of a magnet embedded in a housing and a metal strike plate on the door frame. When the door is closed, the magnet attracts the metal plate, creating a secure hold.
