Product Information
Full details
The Tonitrui Silent Door Ball Catch is designed for homeowners and businesses seeking a quieter, more secure door closure solution. Its key benefit is the virtually silent operation due to its magnetic, ball-less design, eliminating the noise of traditional catches. A potential caveat is its reliance on magnetic strength, which might be less effective on very heavy or frequently slammed doors.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this product suitable for exterior doors?
While it provides a strong hold, it is primarily designed for interior doors. Exterior doors may require more robust locking mechanisms and may be exposed to weather elements that could affect magnetic performance.
What is the difference between this and a traditional ball catch?
This product uses a magnetic system with two high-strength magnets and a ball-less design, eliminating the noise and mechanical wear associated with spring-loaded ball catches.
How do I know if it will fit my door?
It is designed to fit the same mounting hole dimensions as standard door ball latches, making it a direct replacement for many existing installations.
Does it come with mounting screws?
Please check the product packaging. Mounting screws are not always included, as users may need specific types for their door and frame material.
Can the magnetic strength be adjusted?
Yes, the strength can be fine-tuned by adjusting the height of the copper pillar using the included key.
What is the finish of the Tonitrui Silent Door Ball Catch?
The product has a gold finish, as indicated by the 'Gold' colour family attribute.
How do I clean the product?
Clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive chemicals or materials that could scratch the finish or interfere with the magnets.
Troubleshooting
Door does not stay closed
Ensure the magnetic strike plate and the catch are perfectly aligned. Adjust the copper pillar height using the included key to increase engagement. Verify that there are no obstructions between the magnets.
Catch is too strong or too weak
Use the included key to adjust the copper pillar. Turning the pillar can increase or decrease the distance between the magnets, thereby adjusting the holding strength.
Noise persists when closing the door
Check if the door frame or door edge is making contact with the frame upon closing, rather than relying solely on the magnetic hold. Ensure the catch is installed correctly and the door is hanging straight.
Difficulty in installation
Confirm you are using the correct screwdriver for the mounting screws. Ensure the existing holes are compatible or consider pre-drilling new pilot holes if necessary. Refer to the specific installation diagrams if provided with the product.
