FAQs

What material is the Dzina Cupboard Cabinet Gripper Catch made of?

The gripper catch is constructed with materials designed to be non-rusting, and it features a brass plating for its finish.

Does the pack include the necessary screws for installation?

Yes, each gripper catch comes complete with the required screws for mounting.

Can these catches be used on external doors of a boat or caravan?

While designed for internal cupboards and cabinets, their non-rusting quality makes them suitable for some external applications where exposure to the elements is moderate. However, for direct, heavy exposure, additional protection or maintenance might be needed.

How many gripper catches are in this pack?

This pack contains 10 Dzina Cupboard Cabinet Gripper Catches.

Are these suitable for securing pet cages?

Yes, the product description mentions they can be used for rabbit hutches and pet cages, providing a secure fastening.

What is the primary function of the gripper catch?

Its primary function is to securely fasten doors and cupboards shut, preventing them from opening unintentionally, especially during movement or vibrations.

How should I clean the brass-plated finish?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to preserve the finish.

Troubleshooting

Gripper catch does not hold door closed

Ensure the strike plate is correctly aligned with the gripper. Adjust the position of either the catch or the strike plate for a firmer engagement. Check that screws are fully tightened.

Screws will not tighten

The mounting surface may be too soft or the pilot hole too large. Try using a slightly larger screw if available, or use a wood filler/dowel to create a more secure anchor point.

Brass finish appears dull or tarnished

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn tarnish, a mild brass cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a thorough wipe-down with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
