Adjustable Brass Roller Ball Door Catch | Internal Door Spring Mortice & Fixings

Good because it’s all metal. No plastic ball to wear out. Easy to adjust. Looks good. Easy to install. Opens and closes well. Good value.

It doesn't come with brass roller but a plastic one as mentioned in few reviews, so I suppose this is the new standard. Said that, after installation it doesn't seem to have any negative impact by having a plastic roller.Easy to install and it comes with all the screws that are needed as well.It is easy to adjust as well, but there are no instructions. So, for reference:- fit the lock in- insert a screwdriver in the roller slit- push it fully into the lock- turn it left (+) or right (-) if you want it more or less exposed

Does just what you would hope for and is good quality.Will last for years!

Shocked! appauled! disgusted! Well It's not that serious.. but still, this should not be allowed. So, the fully story.. I ordered this product before, loved it, so decided to order it again from the same listing. Not realizing it has now has preselected a different seller as default. The original one I ordered from the seller 1StopSupples came as described, with the brass roller and fit our doors perfectly. But this new one I ordered recently from the same listing but from the seller My Hardware Shop arrived with a cheap plastic roller and different depth on the silver plate so it wont fit our doors without chiseling out the wood. I am dissapointed and will be returning it. And My Hardware Shop should not be selling this cheap alternative on this listing. I'm going to try ordering again from the original seller I ordered from before and hope I get the described one again. Just wanted to warn others as I see now that others have been getting different ones as well.

I bought this door catch after the conventional catch mechanism seized and I was trapped in my bathroom at 4.30 in the morning. (Escaped out of the window and across the garage roof in my jim-jams, but that's another story!)A roller catch means this can never happen again. This item was simple to fit and works perfectly.There are no adjustment instructions but you just push the roller into the mechanism and rotate it either way using a screwdriver inserted into the slit on the roller itself.I have already ordered another of these for the downstairs toilet. It was promptly delivered, reasonably priced and solved my problem!EDIT:The second one arrived today and it was identical, EXCEPT the roller was white plastic rather than metal, like the first one. So, not as pictured. I don't know whether the one with the white plastic roller will be less durable or not - but I know metal is stronger than plastic, so.... However, I haven't changed my 5 stars rating as I have no real basis to know on durability.

OK then it seems ok like I said and I managed to fit it in place of a broken part although the plate width of this was too small but that was my fault for not checking dimensions and I made it work anyway. Other things to mention is that the actual roller ball part is made of plastic or nylon and not a metal like brass as is pictured in the product pictures and I didn`t see anything on it that made it adjustable in anyway as mentioned too although I got it to do the job and so 3 stars from me overall

These door catches work extremely well and have a good closing action once installed, however in some examples, I did find that the spring action roller is happy to recess into the device, but has a tendency to remain inside when opening the door, therefore adjustment can be made by placing a flat head screwdriver into provided groove on the roller and turning it either clockwise or anti clockwise to achieve the desired distance for which it projects from the door. Greasing of the roller and arm is recommended to overcome any sticking of the arm, and therefore a little Vaseline applied to it overcomes the problem. In use the catches can be a little loud, and for that reason I would have prefered to have used a nylon model instead. One note that you may wish to observe, is that when cutting the recess hole to accept the catch’s barrel, it’s preferable to use a 22mm spade bit, this allows easy installation and prevents the use of a file or sandpaper to achieve the exact apperature in order to accept the barrel. Overall it’s a decent catch mechanism and has proven to perform well up to now.

Good quality replacement for a similar item. Fitted easily and works well
