Deltana ball catches are generally used on double closet doors where dummy knobs are used. The ball catch is installed on the top edge of the door so that the door has a mechanism to keep it closed.

Drive-in ball catch

So happy with this. I went to all the hardware stores in my area and didn't find the right one. The one I ordered online arrived quickly and fits right on top of my door and keeps it closed.

I bought this ball catch for a door in my daughter's hall closet. It worked great and was easy to install.

The exact replacement part I needed

about 5 years ago we bought a hose with beautiful french doors to the home office. Somehow one of these broke and a spring was sticking up out of the top of the door. I ordered the replacement. It arrived on time and took less than 5 minute to remove the old and install the new.

Just what I needed and arrived on schedule

Replaced a sprung ball catch, and this fit perfectly using the supplied sleeve. Be careful to order the right thing... This is just the ball part that goes in the door and does not include the catch piece that mounts on the jamb.

Bought this to make repair for a customer. Turned out the broken one was larger diameter. I put the purchased replacement in my "can of parts" since it's really not worth spending the time or money to return. Switched to the magnetic type to fix the problem.

The ball catch appears to be well made and fits perfectly. The spring seems a little light compared to my previous ones, but it works well and holds the door securely. Longevity is the only question now. I'll probably purchase again.

Worked fine. The ones I got at Lowes were returned. The plastic sleeve ensures a good tight fit. The ones at Lowes didn't have the sleeve and were not wide enough. Also, the adjustment mechanism on the one at Lowes adjusts from the bottom. What good is that when you can't reach it after installation? This is a simple adjustment at the top. No instructions so I didn't realize there was an adjustment mechanism until after installation. The Lowes adjusted with a screwdriver, with a clearly defined slot. These were hand turned adjustments.

The ball in a closet door popped free of the retainer. Tried several hardware stores and home remedies to fix. All failed ... then found EXACTLY what was needed at Residential Essentials. Photographs were sufficently detailed to assure me that I had a match to what was installed. The price was right and delivery very prompt. Installation was a 2 minute job and it fit perfectly.

Good replacement Set

Purchased as a replacement for the 'ball-catch' for the closet doors in a newer construction. The originals had the round ball fail (pop out) and could not be repaired. This part was the direct replacement. They are easy to install and work as well as the original. You remove the old and replace with new - no mess/no fuss. One may have to perform a slight adjustment in ball height, but other than than - great direct replacement.

Are these adjustable for how tight you want the door to close?

Asked by: Martin - 3/27/2014

Yes. Just turn the ball from the top. Since they have no screwdriver slot, I didn't realize they were adjustable. Fortunately, when the door wouldn't close, I was able to turn the ball at the top to decrease the height. Answer provided by: Paul (6/7/2015)

how do you replace the existing drive ball catch with the new one?

Asked by: - 6/13/2015

The drive in ball catch is just pressed into the hole in the top of the door. They can be removed by getting under the edge of the housing with a thin screw driver and prying it out of the hole. The new ball catch can be pressed or lightly tapped into the hole with a hammer. Answer provided by: Josh (6/15/2015)
