FAQs
Is this catch suitable for heavy cupboard doors?
It is designed for standard cabinet and cupboard doors. It is not recommended for heavy solid wood doors or oversized pantry doors.
Does this product include mounting screws?
Hardware requirements may vary based on the cabinet material; please check your specific package contents.
Can this be used on metal cabinets?
Yes, provided you have the appropriate fasteners to secure the catch to the metal frame.
What is the primary material of the catch?
The catch is built using high-quality components designed for durability in residential and mobile settings.
Will this work in a bathroom environment?
While durable, consistent exposure to high humidity may eventually impact the springs. Regularly check for signs of corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Door will not stay closed
Check if the strike plate is centered between the rollers or if the catch is positioned too far back from the door edge.
Excessive force required to open the door
Verify that the door is not catching on the cabinet frame and ensure the rollers are clean and moving freely.
Catch makes a squeaking sound
Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the roller contact points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation involves mounting the catch body to the cabinet frame and the strike plate to the back of the door. Use a pilot hole to prevent wood splitting during the screw installation. To maintain the mechanism, occasionally wipe the rollers with a dry cloth to remove dust buildup. If the latch begins to feel 'sticky' or difficult to open, a tiny drop of silicone-based lubricant applied to the rollers can restore smooth operation. Ensure that the door hinges are not loose, as sagging doors can cause the catch to misalign and fail to latch properly.
