Nice product. Very easy to install in a double-doored cabinet. After mounting the female to the cabinet frame and attaching the male to it, stick your head inside and mark the top and side of where the male unit hits the door. Drill a hole and tightly fasten one of the screws. Close the door to see if the unit engages. If you are off, loosen the screw and move the male unit slightly up, down or sideways, and retighten. For a blind attachment (no access inside the cabinet), repeat the above, however, tape a piece of smooth aluminum foil to the door, where the male unit will hit. Press the door firmly against the cabinet; the foil should have the impression of where the male unit will hit the door

I didn't know this product existed until I visited the Rockler website looking for a solution for sagging kitchen cabinet doors.We recently purchased a 20 year old home that has a kitchen pantry that has three doors arranged in a vertical column. The doors are all 22 inches wide and the two taller doors are 29 inches high. These are solid oak custom made cabinets and the doors weigh a ton. Each door is supported by two surface mount hinges and the weight of the doors made them sag substantially over time. When I replaced the hinges and got the doors to be square with the face frame I installed one brass ball catch on each door in the middle of the side opposite the hinges. When the doors are closed the catches are completely hidden. These catches will unload the hinges from the downward pull of their weight when the doors are closed. Problem solved!

My husband had bought a new computer desk with the drop down center drawer. After about a week the lathes broke and he wrote to the company. They in turn sent him new ones that also broke. I suggested that he look through the Rockler catalog. He found the Brass Ball Catch and the order was placed. He hasn't has any problem since he replaced them. They fit perfectly. Thank You!!

Very nice catch. I like that the tension is adjustable. I didn't have issue with screws, just have to pre-drill (like any brass screw really).
Very low margin of error for aligning the two pieces...about 1/16" either say I'd guess, so you have to be accurate.

These are very nice and work well. I did not experience problems with the screws, predrill them the right size and add a drop of penetrating lubricant to the threads before tightening by hand. You should also note that these have to be installed exactly, you have less than 1/16" of play to work with.

Used these ball latches on a grandfather clock that I built. I looked all over for something that would work. These worked fine. Great product.
